- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisitions Division-Kansas City office intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with AAK Corporation, 73 Newton Road, Plaistow, NH, for 225 Automated Surface Observation System (ASOS) Visibility Sensor Power Supplies, 5V, +/-15VDC, 300/150MA, Part Number CT15.15-.3SP for the National Weather Service National Reconditioning Center in Grandview, MO. Sole Source Justification The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain ASOS sensor-specific power supplies. The only known source of this supply is AAK Corporation. All spares for fielded equipment in this program are required to be identical to the item which is currently in use in the field. It is not possible to substitute for this item as introducing a different power supply could adversely impact the performance of the visibility sensor which would impact system availability. Acceptance of any item other than the original equipment would require that testing be re-accomplished. This is not acceptable as it would require significant funding and time to accomplish. Previous offerors were AAI Corporation are no longer supplying ASOS components, Murray Manufacturing Corp is no longer in business and Belfort Instrument Co is no a power supply manufacturer. Sources Sought This sources sought notice is not a request for competitive offers and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide the required power supplies may submit substantiating documentation in writing within five days of this notice. Responses can be faxed to Shelley Smith at (757) 664-3633 or sent via e-mail to shelley.smith@noaa.gov. Documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
