- Description
- This publication serves as notice of intent to procure supplies and services for the Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Operations Center located in Newport, Oregon sole source basis with Applanix Corporation. The government intends to acquire services using FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Proposed contract is for quantity of 28 instances for Applanix POS/MV-320 V4 Firmware/Software Warranty and Software Support Agreement to renew the annual warranty and firmware/software agreement installed on NOAA Ships. POS/MV 320 V4 is the fourth generation of this very specialized system and is used on NOAA fisheries, hydrographic, and oceanographic survey ships to collect acoustic data. NOAA has been using this system for a number of years from V2 (second generation) through present. Applanix, LLC is the manufacturer of POS/MV 320 systems and as such authors and distributes all system firmware and the related POSView software packages. These packages are an industry standard for marine surveying, positioning and navigation. NOAA's fleet currently has 28 POS/MV 320 V4 systems installed and has 28 licensed instances of POSView software in use, and has a continued requirement to access technical support and program updates for this essential firmware and software. Without the purchase of the yearly software support agreement and warranty, NOAA users would not have access to necessary updates and support for continued quality data acquisition. NOAA's fleet currently owns 28 licenses of POSView software that must be kept under annual software maintenance. This provides upgrades and patches that improve or add software functionality, as well as fixing any potential security issues that may arise. Applanix, LLC is the sole provider of support and maintenance and upgrade capabilities for its firmware and software. The North American Industry Classification System code for this acquisition is 334511 with a corresponding size standard of 750 employees. This notice represents the only official notice. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all submittals received by the due set forth in this notice will be considered by the Government.

Responses must be faxed to Maria Mendoza at (206)527-7513 or provided by e-mail to maria.l.mendoza@noaa.gov. This is a simplified acquisition. **** This procurement also requires contractors to complete the electronic representations and certifications at the SAM website.
