Statement of Need - AGI STK Support FY24.pdf

STATEMENT OF NEED

NESDIS/OSPO/ESPC

1. Introduction/Background

The Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) is responsible for the management and operations of the Satellite Operation Control Center (SOCC) and the Environmental Satellite Product Center (ESPC). The SOCC manages and directs the operation of NOAA's satellites and the acquisition of remotely sensed data. The Office has operational responsibility for the Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC) at Suitland, MD and Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) facilities at Wallops, VA and Fairbanks, AK to command and control the satellites, to track the satellites, and to acquire their data. GOES satellites provide the kind of continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis.

2. Scope of Work

The NESDIS Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) supports the telemetry, commanding, analysis and navigation of POES and GOES weather satellite systems. The navigational functions that assure accuracy of satellite orbit position and calculations to predict the need for orbit corrections are based on Satellite Tool Kit (STK), a proprietary software product developed by Analytical Graphics, Inc (AGI). To obtain updates to these software products and receive technical product assistance from AGI, we are required to purchase a yearly software maintenance, update and license subscription. This agreement provides version upgrades of STK product releases, ability to transfer the software and licenses to new hardware, and unlimited technical product support. This request is to maintain continuity of the support agreement by purchasing an Annual Support and Upgrades Renewal.

5. Requested Delivery/Period of Performance

Requested Delivery: 07/30/2024 Period of Performance: 08/01/2024 - 07/31/2025

6. Security Requirements, if any:

Products and services for exchange, refurbishing, or recycling of hardware must comply with NOAA IT Security Manual (ITSM) media sanitization requirements (MP-6) and NIST SP 800- 88 Revision 1. Pre-configured hardware must comply with FAR 39.101(c) regulations for adherence to the NIST SP 800-70 Rev. 3 common security configuration checklist program (https://nvd.nist.gov/ncp/repository). New hardware must comply with FAR 4.1302 and FIPS PUB 201 [in accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12)]. In addition, new hardware shall be capable of implementing Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) requirements as required by FAR part 11.002 requirements which state that unless the agency Chief Information Officer waives the requirement, when acquiring information technology using Internet Protocol, the requirements documents must include reference to the appropriate technical capabilities defined in the USGv6 Profile (NIST Special Publication (SP) 500-267;

replaced by NIST SP 800-119 in Dec 2010) and the corresponding declarations of conformance defined in the USGv6 Test Program. To meet this requirement, each DOC acquisition of IP protocol technology must express requirements for IPv6 capabilities in terms of the USGv6 Profile (i.e., using the USGV6 Capabilities Check List) and vendors must be required to document their product’s support of the requested capabilities through the USGv6 test program (https://www-x.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/) using the USGv6 Suppliers Declaration of Conformity.
