E-MAIL: Thomas Stanley, tstanley@ssc.nasa.gov. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE -- NASA/SSC is hereby soliciting information for potential sources for the following: Tropospheric Winds Data Purchase for the NASA Earth Science Enterprise and the NOAA. This Request for Information (RFI) issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth Science Enterprise (ESE), in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is to identify commercial sources to provide research and operational quality wind data. All interested parties are encouraged to respond to this RFI. As part of its planning for post-2002 Earth Observing System (EOS) investigations, ESE and NOAA have identified a need for global tropospheric wind sounder data. The primary goal of this RFI is to seek information about potential sources for global tropospheric wind sounder data from private industry and to determine the rough order of magnitude (ROM) costs for such a data buy. NASA and NOAA will use the information for program planning and budgeting purposes only. Future procurement activities may or may not result from this fact-finding exercise. Please visit our web site at http://procurement.nasa.gov/EPS/SSC/class.html for a complete description of this Tropospheric Winds Data Purchase. Posted 07/27/99 (D-SN359404). (0208)
