- Description
- Solicitation Number: NWWG0110-13-NEXRAD-DualPol Synopsis: The Department of Commerce, NOAA, National Weather Service (NWS), Office of Operational Systems intends to negotiate, on sole source basis, under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302 Other Than Full and Open Competition, with L-3 Communications, Inc. Installation of the NEXRAD Dual-Pol modification has caused disruption of flexible waveguide within the NEXRAD system. This disruption has resulted in inducing radiation leakage within the system, especially in the areas where flexible waveguide is used. These meters are required to verify that sites which have the Dual-Pol hardware installed have not developed leaks as a result of the modification. The acquisition is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to L-3 Communications Corp (NARDA) as the radiation hazard meter which they provide has previously been qualified to function with the NEXRAD maintenance program. Vendors who believe they can satisfy the Government's requirements are invited to submit an affirmative response. To be considered an affirmative response, vendors must submit written data and documentation that reflect meeting 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 to determine a bona fide capability to meet the requirements. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement for competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within its discretion. Affirmative responses must be received within 10 days after publication of this synopsis. Information related to the potential availability of other sources that can fulfill this requirement must be received by the POC listed below no later than 5PM eastern time on Friday, August 15, 2013. This notice is not a formal solicitation. This is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposal (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. No purchase order will be awarded on the basis of quotation or offers received in response to this notice. Any response to this notice must show clear, compelling, and convincing evidence that competition will be advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received, the contract will be awarded without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. POC: Jeffrey Paul, NOAA/National Weather Service, 1325 East-West Highway, Room 3176, Silver Spring, MD 20910. Questions must be emailed to Jeffrey.Paul@noaa.gov.
