- Description
- ****NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) with Texas Tech University System. ****The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) National Severe Storms Lab (NSSL) in Norman, Oklahoma and its need to prepare the required mesonetwork instruments and to make the site selections for "Meso 18-19 Field Campaign" of Vortex-SE. "Texas Tech University is the only known entity with the following characteristics: 1) owns a suite of deployable instruments with demonstrated usefulness for the needed observations in VORTEX-SE and 2) is able to locate suitable instrument deployment sites in the general northern Alabama region based on previous experience. Texas Tech designed and built the instrument systems, and has deployed the instruments in several experiments in which the National Severe Storms Laboratory was a participant. Texas Tech has demonstrated these capabilities in two previous field campaigns in VORTEX-SE. In monitoring activities across the severe weather research community, NSSL has identified no other entities that have the capability to provide this service."
