The contract will follow the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12 for acquiring commercial products and services, and simplified acquisition procedures will be applied.

This script must also process Sensor Independent Complex Data from commercial satellite missions managed through the National Reconnaissance Office and tasked by the Civil Applications Committee. The notice serves to comply with FAR Subpart 5.203 and is not a solicitation for competitive bids; however, interested parties may submit capability statements by June 18, 2026, for consideration. No formal solicitation will be issued, and the government retains sole discretion in deciding whether to proceed with competition based on responses. The contracting action is categorized under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers, with the contract oversight conducted by the Office of Acquisition Grants within the Department of the Interior. Electronic submissions are to be sent exclusively to the identified government point of contact by the specified deadline. The contract supports services for the USGS Alaska Science Center, with the contracting office located in Sacramento, California.
