Sources Sought Synopsis Template The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement for Terrascan software. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 511210 Software Publishers size standard $38.5 Million. There is no solicitation at this time. This request for capability information does not constitute a request for proposals; submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of various members of industry, namely the Small Business Community to include Section 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women-Owned (WOSB) and Historically Underutilized (HUBZone) concerns. The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsible contractors. TerraScan TerraScan is the main application in the Terrasolid Software family for managing and processing large amounts of LIDAR point data. Various classification routines enable the automatic filtering of the point cloud. The results from the automatic classification can be refined by using half-automatic and manual classification tools in combination with versatile 3D point cloud visualization options. TerraScan provides tools to produce 3D vector models of buildings automatically over large areas, tools for the automatic vectorization of power line wires, and a myriad of other tools for additional applications. TerraMatch TerraMatch is a sophisticated tool for improving the accuracy and quality of the raw laser point cloud. It compares laser data from overlapping flight or drive paths and calculates correction values for the misalignment angles as well as xyz location errors. The comparison and correction value calculation can be either based on surface matching or on different types of tie lines. Tie line matching comprises points or lines on horizontal, vertical or sloped surfaces that can be used for matching flight/drive paths to each other, but also known point or line locations that enable the adjustment of the laser point cloud to control measurements. TerraMatch is also used for misalignment angle calibration which should be checked and possibly improved at the beginning of data processing. For this purpose, data is collected on a specific calibration side which offers a point cloud dedicated for the calibration task to the software. If the system includes several laser scanners, the calibration involves scanner-to-scanner matching. In addition, TerraMatch provides tools for QC'ing collected LIDAR calibration. QC for both line to line, mission to mission, and mission to control.Firm's response to this Synopsis shall be limited to (3) pages and shall include the following information: 1. Firm's name, address, point of contact, phone number, website, and email address. 2. Firm's interest in bidding on the solicitation when it is issued. 3. Firm's capability to perform a contract of this magnitude and complexity (include firm's capability to execute comparable work performed within the past (3) years. Brief description of the project, customer name, timeliness of performance, customer satisfaction, and dollar value of the project) - provide at least (3) examples. 4. Firm's Business category and Business Size -Other than Small, Small Business, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or HUBzone. If your firm is a Small Business, be sure you understand the performance of work requirements for your specific socioeconomic category. i.e. SB, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or HUBZone. 5. If significant subcontracting or teaming is anticipated in order to deliver technical capability, firms should address the structure of such arrangements to include Joint Venture information if applicable - existing and potential. 6. Firm's Bonding Capability (construction bonding level per contract and aggregate construction bonding level, both expressed in dollars) via letter from bonding company All responses to this sources sought notice/market research will be evaluated and used in determining acquisition strategy.
