Lightning Warning Application Development

The 45th Space Wing/45th Contracting Squadron is seeking sources for the development of a cellular phone application to provide lightning warnings to personnel based on GPS location and interface with the Eastern Range lightning system. The app must warn users within 5 nautical miles of strikes from the last 20 minutes, update statuses every 30 seconds or faster, display lightning activity on a map for 30 minutes, and allow weather radar toggling. Respondents are to provide one-page capability statements by December 6th with feedback on the project parameters and a proposed delivery schedule. Evaluation will consider the vendor's proposed schedule and functionality of their solution.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. As it involves the development of a lightning warning application using Eastern Range lightning data only, the main NAICS code applicable is 541511 - Custom Computer Programming Services and PSC code D302 for IT and Telecom- Systems Development. No potential incumbents or budget details are provided, though the app is intended to provide lightning warnings to all personnel under the 45th Space Wing. The deadline for responses is December 6th, 2019.
