The Geography Division, United States Census Bureau (Census Bureau) is conducting a competition in accordance with PL 920582 (Brooks Architect?Engineer Act) and FAR 36 to enter into a contract with a period of performance from award date through September 30, 2008. This contract is for collection of accurate coordinate datasets to support the coordinate evaluation of TIGER files that have been processed through the MAF/TIGER Accuracy Improvement Project (MTAIP) coordinate improvement operations. Also coordinate evaluation data is required to evaluate the location accuracy of Geographic Information System (GIS) files and other files that are potential sources of spatial data, for which the spatial accuracy must be statistically evaluated and the results recorded in the metadata. It is anticipated that from contract award through GFY 2008 coordinate QA will be required for up to 1200 areas. The schedule is dependent on a number of factors beyond the Census Bureau’s control. Consequently the contract type is anticipated to be an Indefinite Quantity, Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract with individual task orders for a well-defined workload of a definite number of named counties or areas. Each task order will be priced as a fixed price task order. This task requires the collection via creation or procurement of coordinate QA evaluation datasets. The Census Bureau requires these Coordinate QA datasets to determine the coordinate accuracy of local government supplied GIS files, other coordinate source files, and coordinate enhanced TIGER files. The project shall be known as “Accurate Coordinate Datasets Collection (ACDC).” The anticipated award date is September 9, 2004. All responsible sources may submit an offer that will be considered by the Census Bureau. Expressions of interest should be forwarded via Email to the above contact ([email protected]) within 15 calendar days after the issue date of this Notice. Fifteen (15) days after the issue date of this notice, a solicitation document will be published electronically on the U.S. Census Bureau’s Web site at two locations. http://www.census.gov/geo/mod/maftiger.html http://www.census.gov/procur/www
