NOAA's Marine Chart Division (MCD) maintains a Nautical Chart System (NCS) that underpins production of NOAA's nautical charts, which are tools for safe, efficient and environmentally sound navigation in United States waters. MCD provides charts and chart products for use in the maritime transportation system that moves over two thirds of all consumer goods purchased in the United States.

MCD's current NCS consists of two production systems that maintain and generate nautical chart products for commercial and recreational mariners; the Nautical Chart System I (NCS I) and the Nautical Chart System II (NCS II). These systems are used in tandem to create all of MCD's products and maintain MCD's suite of 1024 charts.
The services required are to supplement the MCD nautical charting program existing staff, processes for continual maintenance of nautical source application, and modernization of existing raster and vector chart files.
