- Signed Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division - Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.500, with Vaisala Inc., for the purchase of hardware components to replace and upgrade the RVP8 system for NEXRAD Radar. The sole source determination is based on NOAA's requirement for the replacement and upgrade of hardware components that are compatible with current RVP8 system components. The specific Vaisala components to be ordered include 10 RVP8 chassis boxes, 4 RVP8 I/O 62 cards, and 7 RVP8 Receiver cards. Vaisala Inc. is the only vendor that can provide the new equipment which is compatible with existing RVP8 system components. No other vendor can provide NOAA the compatibility, interchangeability, and interoperability required. The RVP8 system is a proprietary Vaisala built system. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide equipment that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such 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 responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
