Description

THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE. The U.S. Geological Survey's EROS Data Center (EDC) requests industry comments regarding the EDC's World Wide Web site. The intent of this request is to refine a set of web page requirements for future inclusion into a RFP. This anticipated work will not be ongoing web operations and maintenance support, but rather initial designs and implementations that address the following requirements: adherence to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998, USGS Visual Identity rules and regulations (http://www.usgs.gov/visual-id/), standard cascading style sheet usage, html/Java/JavaScript/perl/cgi/css/.inc usage, consistent navigational/look-and-feel usability recommendations, general web page layout/color scheme/use of graphics recommendations. USGS requests that industry carefully review this announcement and offer comments no later than close of business August 31, 2001. It is anticipated that this requirement will be solicited as a 100 percent Small Business Set Aside. All questions and comments received from potential offerors will be considered by the government in preparation for the final RFP. Any changes made will be at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer. Individual response to submitters' comments will not be provided. PROPOSALS ARE NOT REQUIRED AT THIS TIME AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. Any information submitted is voluntary. The government will not pay for any information that is submitted in response to this request for industry comment. The current USGS EDC website is located at http://edc.usgs.gov. Comments shall be sent via e-mail to the Contracting Officer Representative, John Faundeen, at faundeen@usgs.gov.
