Image Software and Maintenance

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), IRTM-BCT in Falls Church, VA intends to award a purchase order to ERDAS, Inc., of Norcross, GA for the purchase of maintenance and licensing for ERDAS image processing software from Intergraph Government Solutions (developer of ERDAS) that the Fish and Wildlife Service purchased in Fiscal Year 2014. ERDAS software will be used by the USFWS for manipulating data values and positions, making it possible to see features that would not normally be visible in remote sensing imagery and to locate geo-positions of features that would otherwise be graphical. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within seven days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
