The National Weather Service Organizations Division intends to procure the design documentation, unlimited usage rights and the residual inventory for the Nimbus PL2 electronic thermometer display from Sensatronics, LLC, who is both the design agent and manufacturer of the Nimbus. Sensatronics, LLC no longer manufacturers or supports the Nimbus PL2 product, and the NWS owns over 5,500 of theses instruments. Because NWS can no longer buy replacement instruments, nor get support for it's existing instruments, the NWS must develop an internal repair capability at the NWS National Reconditioning Center to maintain, service and repair these instruments until the Nimbus can be replaced. The Nimbus PL2 is a commercial product whose design is soley owned by Sensatronics, LLC. Sensatronics, LLC is the sole responsible source that can provide the required rights and materials. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 253(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 541511, $23.0 million small business size. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes. However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities, which if timely received, will be considered by NOAA. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing, and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the foregoing requirements. Responses must also be accompanied by descriptive literature, warranties, and/or other information that demonstrates that the quote meets all of the foregoing requirements. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to Amy.Sanderswhite@noaa.gov or faxed to (301) 713-0808 by September 4, 2010. Award will be made using FAR 13, Simplified acquisition procedures, current through FAC 2005-44.
