- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Logistics Service Center in Silver Spring, intend to award a purchase order to Belfort Instrument Company for spare assemblies for the ASOS Visibility sensor. All spares for this system are required to be identical to the item which was provided with the original equipment. It is not possible to substitute for this item; any logistical spares must be form, fit, and function identical to the original equipment item. Belfort Instrumentation considers this item as proprietary and so is the only known source of supply. The original equipment was subjected to a stringent qualification test regime which included operational testing, field testing, and environmental qualification testing. Acceptance of any item other than the original equipment would require that testing be completely reaccomplished. This is not acceptable, as it would require significant funding and time to accomplish and would result in fielded ASOS systems being unavailable during the period. For this reason, only Belfort part number 323110 (Optical Receiver Assembly is deemed acceptable at this time. Visibility Sensor Optiocal Receiver - Quantity 2 P/N: 32310 Visibility Sensor Controller PCB P/N: 32194-1 Visibility Sensor Optical Transmitter P/N: 32315 The intended procurement is for supplies for which the Government intends to acquire under the guidelines of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures and FAR Part 12 Commercial Items.
