- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce/National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, a firm-fixed-price (FFP) acquisition with Mr. Irving Levesion, 10 Inverness Lane, Jackson, NJ 08527-4047. This action is being processed in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source, and solicited in accordance with FAR 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. Description: The Government has a requirement to provide policy-makers with the Interagency E GPS executive Board (IGEB) and oversight agencies with recommendations as to timing, sequencing, number of satellite systems, military considerations, and the role of GPS in a GNSS. The IGEB was established by Presidential directive in 1996 to manage the Global Positioning System (GPS). Until December 2004 IGEB functioned as a senior-level policy making body chaired jointly by the Departments of Defense and Transportation. The new Presidential Directive established a National Space-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing Executive Committee, co-chaired by the Deputy Secretaries of the Department of Defense and the Department of Transportation or their designated representatives in order to place responsibility for GPS at a higher level and updated the description of agency responsibilities. The recommendations to the IGEB will be based on analysis of the benefits, cost, risks and other strategic alternatives. A strategic cost-benefit analysis is necessary to support these decisions rather than a traditional-cost benefit analysis because costs and benefits depends on scenarios/assumptions about the future development and deployment of civil satellite navigation achieving objectives and risks. This is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all information received will be considered by the Government.

Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

To be considered an affirmative response, all responses must include detailed technical information and other technical literature demonstrating the ability to meet the above requirements. In your response you must address each of the items listed above in sufficient detail to permit agency analysis to establish a bona fide capability to meet the requirement. Failure to submit documentation will result in the agency proceeding as stated above.
