The SFMR is used for the purpose of measuring ocean surface winds and rain rates during severe weather research flights. The proposed acquisition is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. ProSensing, Inc. designed and built the SFMR. They possess proprietary drawings, engineering data, and software. As the designer and builder, ProSensing has unique experience in trouble shooting, calibrating, and modifying these units to design and fabricate the required radome.
