70 -- PHOTOGRAMMETRIC PRODUCTION SYSTEM POC Contact Amanda Goodwin (703)648-7372 or Contracting Officer Sharon McDowell (703)648-7375 In 1999 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) purchased three photogrammetric production systems from Intergraph Corporation. Now, the USGS intends to purchase a fourth system on a non-competitive basis from Intergraph Corporation. The USGS is conducting market research with regard to the acquisition of a supplemental system to be interfaced with existing Intergraph manufactured components located at USGS facilities in Menlo Park, California. Based on information available at this time, the USGS considers the required systems to be sole-source and plans to enter into non-competitive discussions with Intergraph Corporation of Huntsville, Alabama. The system must provide a complete photogrammetric production system that offers a fully integrated, scalable, Y2K compliant solution with an open systems architecture. Due to unique imagery scanning requirements, the Intergraph manufactured image scanning subsystem (Intergraph PS-1) will be retained for integration into the system. The system shall electronically receive, ingest and process scanned hardcopy commercial frame imagery in a proprietary Intergraph format from the image scanning subsystem. The system shall ingest imagery and support data structures associated with softcopy data; perform triangulation; orthorectify/mosaic image data to produce Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles (DOQ) meeting the USGS Standards for Digital Orthophotos, Version Dated December 1996; digital orthophotos meeting user defined parameters; assess accuracy for compliance to National Map Accuracy Standards; automatically apply the appropriate names to DOQ products using the USGS Geographic Names Information System Geographic Cell Names Database; and interface with a local area network via Fast Ethernet (100mpbs). Any responses to this synopsis should contain sufficient technical documentation and descriptive literature to sufficiently describe system capabilities. All responses will be evaluated to determine whether that firm has full knowledge and capabilities to meet the USGS' requirement for successful implementation of the replacement system. Neither a draft statement of work nor specifications are available. The Government will not pay for information provided in response to this synopsis. This notice may represent the Governments only official notice of this procurement. All responses to this request must be received by close of business June 9, 2000. Posted 05/19/00 (W-SN456458).
