- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA and the National Weather Service (NWS) intend to award a purchase order for 10 each of 4-Bay Antenna, NWR to Systems With Reliability, L.P. (SWR). SWR is the sole manufacturer of the SWR 4-Bay NWS antenna system that the NWS uses with the SRS NWR (NOAA Weather Radio) transmitters. The antenna is used due to the engineering studies that have been done to evaluate and approve the initial installation of these specific models on a per radio tower basis. The initial installations have had to be approved based on wind loading, weight, attachment method, and size. If another model antenna was used to replace the original it would negate the accuracy of the engineering study (at an additional expense to the Government) would be required and approval for the change of the antenna would not be guaranteed. Any other manufacturer's part may not work due to the uniqueness of the end item being replaced. Any attempt to reproduce this item from any other source other than SWR, would require that the Government re-qualify the part at considerable cost to the Government whose cost saving could not be recovered using open competition. The proposed contract action was issued as a sources sought notice that was posted on FedBizOpps under Solicitation No. NWWG01401302527 on August 16, 2013. An award will be issued to SWR LP.
