Description

The National Weather Service has a requirement for the purchase of NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) transmitters, spares, and related support services. This is a re-advertisement of a requirement that was announced in the June 30, 2000, on-line edition of the CBD. The quantities previously advertised have been revised. It is estimated that NOAA may purchase up to 260 systems over the next 5 years. State and local partnerships may purchase additional systems directly. 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 may also be establishing 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 solicitation is available only through the internet at http://www.rdc.noaa.gov/~amd/index.html. At this site, scroll down the left to "Solicitation Information" and then click the "Solicitations OnLine Index." All responsible sources may submit a proposal for consideration. See Note 26.
