- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT: This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a MARKET SURVEY to determine the interest and capability of any firm eligible to compete under NAICS code 541360 Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services with a Small Business Size Standards in number of 16.50 employees for an upcoming requirement of an Remote Sensing Software. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. ALL COST ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION AS REQUESTED BY THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR. Submission is voluntary. The USGS Geologic Hazards Science Center requires the purchase of radar processing software for processing radar data for hazard assessments and emergency response activities. The USGS Landslide Hazards group exchanges data and processing methodology with the Volcano Hazards group and thus needs software that is compatible with that group. Specific technical characteristics for the radar processing software include: � Must be capable of rapid updates and maintained for new satellites that become available. � Must be compatible with 24 spaceborne SAR satellites, the highest number of any SAR processing software. This is critical for maximizing data availability for hazard assessments and emergency response activities. � Must be capable of full customization by users and include both a Python and Matlab wrapper. � Must have the functionality over other software includes split-beam and split-spectrum InSAR, closure phase calculation, inpainting interpolation routines, denoising using block-matching and 3D filtering, ionosphere identification and mitigation procedures, spatially adaptive atmospheric path delay estimation, ScanSAR SLC coregistration and InSAR support, and adaptations for new operating systems and libraries (e.g. FFTW3). � Must be fully integrated with the NASA NISAR radar satellite when it becomes available in April, 2022. � Must be fully compatible with NISAR data. � Must have a fully integrated Persistent Scatterer Interferometry and Small Baseline Subset Interferometry time series analysis techniques. Radar processing software will be used for landslide detection and monitoring for the Alaska Landslide Project, which has a primary focus on the Prince William Sound region, and on landslides in Barry Arm in particular. Eventually, the software will likely be integrated as part of a regional landslide detection system for Alaska. Landslides are becoming more prevalent in Alaska due to changing climatic conditions which are degrading glaciers and mountain permafrost, both of which cause slope instability. Because Alaska is very large, remote detection and monitoring of landslide movement will be an essential part of the Alaska Landslide Project. Responses to this announcement are requested from (1) SBA certified Small Business HubZone firms; (2) Small Business firms certified by a Small Business Administration (SBA) district or regional office for participation in the 8(a) program; (3) Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small Business firms; (4) Small Businesses. In response to this announcement, please indicate your firm's socioeconomic status (e.g. small business, service-disabled veteran-owned, women owned, HUBZone, etc.) This information will assist the Government in determining how small businesses can fit into the acquisition strategy. A firm is considered small under NAICS code 541360 Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services. Any information submitted is voluntary. If sufficient interest and capability is not received from firms in categories (1) through (4) above, any solicitation may be issued as unrestricted without further consideration. Interested small business firms shall submit (1) NAME, ADDRESS, and PHONE NUMBER OF THE FIRM (including DUNS NUMBER); (2) a CAPABILITY STATEMENT including (a) RECENT (within the last three fiscal years) RELEVANT (similar projects to this requirement) performance history (identify the name of the owner and their point(s) of contact with telephone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses; and (b) in what capacity (e.g., prime, subcontractor etc.) they performed the work; and (3) their SIZE STATUS. Your company must have a DUNs number and be registered on-line at the System for Award Management (SAM). You will also be required to provide your small business status information either via the RFP or the On-line Representations and Certifications (ORCA) also located at the SAM website before an award to your company can be made. Your on-line ORCA registration will cover any/all of your offers to the Federal Government, and only needs updated annually. All responses must be submitted NLT August 25, 2021 at 3pm EDT via e-mail to: tbeals@usgs.gov. This is NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Invitation for Bid (IFB) and does not constitute any commitment by the Government. Responses to this sources sought notice will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions. All interested sources must respond to future solicitation announcements separately from responses to this market survey. Any solicitation that may be issued will be posted on the SAM.gov electronically.
