Agency: COMMERCE, DEPARTMENT OF / NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION
Location: NORFOLK, FL
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 811210
Scope: Federal

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Acquisition and Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division-Kansas City intends to negotiate and award a purchase order, on a sole source basis, under authority of RFO FAR 6.103-1, with small business entity Prosensing, Inc. for specialized engineering, calibration, and data validation services for the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer -High Altitude (SFMR-HA) system for the OMAO Aircraft Operations Center.

Sole Source Justification: The sole source determination is based on NOAA’s Sole Source Justification.

Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized.

ProSensing Inc. is the sole source capable of performing hardware-level modifications and specialized temperature- dependent calibration for the SFMR-HA due to their proprietary hardware ownership and specialized testing facilities.

No other vendor possesses the requisite equipment or proprietary technical data to deliver validated operational calibration constants within the required timelines.

Any delay in finalizing calibration constants will directly impede flight software accuracy during upcoming hurricane field operations.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
