- Description
- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division in Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Vaisala Inc., of Woburn, MA 01801 for the purchase of a combination radar meteorological digital receiver and signal processor unit. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) requirement for a combination radar meteorological digital receiver and signal processor unit manufactured by the Sigmet Division of Vaisala Inc. for an upgrade to the NEXRAD Radar Program. The RVP900 is primarily a hardware upgrade and maintains compatibility with the software necessary to operate the RVP8. This custom government software is heavily integrated with the vendor's software and in some cases is based on it via a licensing agreement developed as part of the Open Radar Data Acquisition project that deployed the original RVP8 based systems. Continued compatibility is a critical factor for avoiding significant costs and additional licensing liabilities that may be involved in any future RVP8 upgrades. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide equipment that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
