- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), National Water and Climate Center (NWCC), Portland, Oregon intends to award a sole source fixed price purchase order to Maiden Rock Communications, LLC. 586 Double Arrow Road, Steely Lake, MT 59868-0575. This award is being procured under Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Part 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii)(A), only one responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy agency requirements. Currently the National Water and Climate Center (NWCC) collects data from multiple Meteorburst master stations in order to obtain remote station data from SNOTEL and SCAN systems and is in need of additional work items for the existing MRC520X SNOTEL system. This work includes removing the TRECK TCP/IP stack from the MCC 6200 CMU, integration of the new Micro Digital SMX TCP/IP stack into the MRC 520X Cold Fire Software, and full integration of the existing USB stack into the MRC 520X software. Estimated value of services is $30,000. Meteorburst transmitters are the primary source for transmitted SNOTEL and SCAN data used in essential engineering research and development projects with field applications throughout the USDA-NRCS. The 520X radio and all connecting power and communication cables transmit data collected from Soil Climate Analysis stations and SNOTEL stations across the United States. All remote station radios operate against this proprietary operating system manufactured by MCC who has transferred the rights to Maiden Rock Communications, LLC. To compete this award would create substantial duplication of costs in which the Government is not expected to recover. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed order is at the sole discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. This is a notice and a solicitation will not be issued. NRCS will not respond to requests for solicitation copies and will not pay for information received in response to this announcement. This notice is not a request for proposals. No solicitation document is available.
