E-MAIL: click here to email the Contracting Officer, Gregory.N.Smith@agf.noaa.gov. The National Weather Service has a requirement for the purchase of NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) transmitters, spares, and related support services. The desired transmitters would be 100, 300, and 1000 watts, FM, 162 MHz, dual redundant, and possess automatic switching. NOAA may award contracts separately for each of the three power levels. The support services may include training, maintenance, installation, and other support activities. With this procurement, NOAA also seeks to establish an additional designated source(s) of supply for transmitters to upgrade and enhance the existing NWR network for purchase by state and local partnerships. The contract(s) will allow NOAA to purchase up to 157 systems over the next 5 years. State and local partnerships may purchase additional systems directly. Most of these systems would likely be purchased and installed in multiple small lots of 1 to up to as many as 20. All responsible sources may submit a proposal for consideration by the agency. Once issued, the solicitation will be made available only via our website. "http://www.rdc.noaa.gov/~amd/SOLINDEX.HTML" See Note 26. Posted 06/30/00 (W-SN470675). (0182)
