The AMERGINT product is required to uplink the NOAA/High Rate Information Transmission (HRIT) to the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites-R Series satellites for distribution of Emergency Managers Weather Information Network weather forecasts, warnings, graphics, and other information as well as low-resolution GOES satellite imagery data to remotely located user HRIT Terminals.� Without the AMERGINT maintenance renewal, product outages and security issues would be jeopardized during a serious weather event which would adversely affect weather preparedness in remote locations, the health & safety of the public and the Government infrastructure.� Thus, not procuring the AMERGINT renewal would present an unacceptable impact to the Government.� No other product will meet the Government�s Requirements. NOAA/OSPO has a requirement to renew the AMERGINT maintenance and support contract.� AMERGINT has been determined to be the sole source provider of AMERGINT maintenance and support/AMERGINT�softFEP-9000 based on the following: 1) The proprietary nature of the AMERGINT product; 2) The acquisition history showing Government sole source awards to AMERGINT for the same proprietary AMERGINT product; and, 3) A sole source letter from AMERGINT stating that it does not use resellers or third parties to sell or support AMERGINT products. The Government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price contract.� The North American Industry Classification System Code is 517410--Satellite Telecommunications, with the size standard $44 million dollars, is applicable to the Government�s Requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive bids, quotes or proposals; however, any vendor that believes it can fully meet the Government�s Requirements may submit written documentation affirmatively demonstrating its ability to meet the Government�s Requirements to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist, listed in this notice, within six (6) calendar days of this notice post-date.� Vendor documentation that may be submitted in response to this notice will be considered only to determine whether to proceed with the intended sole source acquisition.� A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive acquisition, and proceed with a sole source acquisition, based on potential submissions to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.� Any documentation submitted in response to this notice is strictly voluntary; therefore, the Government: 1) will not pay for any documentation submitted in response to this notice and will not pay for vendor time used to respond to this notice; and, 2) will not award a contract solely based on documentation submitted in response to this notice. Please direct any questions regarding this notice to both Ms. Callie Zuppas, Contract Specialist at callie.zuppas@noaa.gov , and Cc Mr. Mario Gray, Contracting Officer at mario.gray@noaa.gov
