- Description
- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with the National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in Central Otago, New Zealand for launch and recover facilities, services and supplies for water vapor/ozone balloon flights at NIWA Lauder Observatory, New Zealand. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) requirement for the measurements to be done in New Zealand to fulfill the scientific goals of the Global Monitoring Division. The NIWA Lauder Observatory has trained staff and the facilities required to carry out the balloon flights. The balloon launch facility and the ground telemetry system available at Lauder are not available from other locations in New Zealand. Therefore NIWA is the only vendor that meets NOAA's requirements. ***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.
