u--Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Membership

The USGS has a requirement for a sole source firm-fixed price contract with the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), a not-for-profit, voluntary consensus standards organization to support and maintain the Federal Geographic Data Committee to maintain and approve policies and procedures for OGC's interoperability program, used across the world. The USGS is aware of no other source that can provide the above. Therefore, it intends to make an award to the OGC, unless it is contacted by any who believes they have obtained similar technical expertise and can provide the same service. Vendors are invited to contact the Contracting Officer, Julio Cordoba via email at [email protected] no later than 10:00 AM EST, Monday, May 23, 2016 with an affirmative answer. Period of Performance will be as follows: Base 06/01/2016 through 05/31/2017 plus four 12-month options.
