Geometric Data Management and Revision

Added: Mar 16, 2018 12:59 pm This is a Request for Information (RFI)

The U.S. Geological Survey, Astrogeology Team, Flagstaff, AZ 86001 has a requirement for revision and management of Geometric Data for an Imaging Project.

The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services. The size standard is $27.5 million.

The U. S. Geological Survey, Astrogeology Science Center, is contracted by NASA to process and deliver planetary image data for the international planetary science community. We have a critical need for development of an improved product (with updated position and accurate viewing geometry) for NASA¿s Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) data. To continue to support NASA and to complete the funded work, this dataset needs additional processing to update the position and viewing geometry prior to public release. Tasks include delivery of updated positional information (in the form of SPICE kernels, LOC and OBS files) and a new version of the Level 2 M3 product (with thermal correction and photometry normalization applied).

The anticipated contract will be firm fixed price. A vendor must be registered at http://www.sam.gov to be awarded the contract.

This sources sought notice is for informational purposes only and shall not be considered a solicitation, obligation, or commitment by the Government. No contract will be award as a result of this sources sought announcement. The United States Geological Survey, Office of Acquisition and Grants is soliciting information from qualified sources; the results of this announcement will be evaluated to determine if there are businesses capable of performing the proposed work. Firms with expressed interest and capability are to respond by March 21, 2018.

All questions and submissions in response to this notice must be submitted electronically via email to Cheryl Ciccarelli cciccarelli@usgs.gov .
