- Description
- The United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS), Dissemination Systems Branch intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with INH Technology, Inc of Benbrook, Texas to provide one-hundred NOAA Weather Radio Off-Air Monitor Systems (ROAMS) spare units for replenishment of the radio network. The NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) spare ROAMS units are necessary to repair and sustain broadcast equipment for critical domestic dissemination services. These dissemination services provides direct interface to the public for time critical issuance of watches, warnings and other emergency hazard information. Sustaining this service is critical for the prevention of loss of life and property. This action supports the emergency repair work for NWR transmitter network due to catastrophic events causing damage and failures. INH Technology currently has approximately 800 ROAMS units already in use in association with the NWR program and is the sole manufacturer of these units. These units from INH comply and conform to NOAA?s logistics, training and repair infrastructure to be an acceptable piece of the NWR system currently in use in the field. Vendors who believe that can satisfy the Government=s requirement are invited to submit an affirmative response. To be considered an affirmative response, vendors must submit written data and documentation which demonstrates an ability to meet the aforementioned requirements. All responsible sources must submit a written narrative statement of capability including detailed technical information and other technical literature sufficient to permit agency analysis. This is in order to determine a bona fide capability to meet the requirement. A determination by the Government not to open this requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. A firm fixed-price delivery order is contemplated for this effort. Affirmative written responses must be received no later than 30 August 2006. Please submit all written responses to Mark Miller via e-mail at Mark.A.Miller@ noaa.gov See Note 22.
