- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, and the National Weather Service intend to solicit for purchase 45 each of Strut & Probe Assembly P/N 00872-0277-0001 NSN: NSN: 6660-01-426-3804; ASN: S100-2MT3A1A1. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Rosemount Engineering Inc, d/b/a Goodrich Sensor Systems is now manufactured by Campbell Scientific. Campbell Scientific has the exclusive right to the manufacturing and distribution of this critical part which supports the detection of freezing rain at all major United States airports. The part supports all commercial and military movement in and out of major airports where icing conditions exist. The disruption of air traffic will impact revenue to all Government, commercial, and private operations. It also increases the accident risk resulting from icing conditions that can cause the loss of life, property, and wealth of the United States of America at a critical time in this present economy. Campbell Scientific is the exclusive worldwide distributor of Goodrich Sensor Systems for all land based ice detectors. Any other manufacturer's part would not work due to the uniqueness of the end item being replaced. The Government does not have the design rights of the manufacturer drawings for this part. Any attempt to reproduce this item from any other source other than Campbell Scientific, would require that the Government re-qualify the part at considerable cost to the Government and any cost savings could not be recovered using open competition. This item is being purchased for the National Weather Service (NWS), to be delivered to the National Logistics Support Center, Kansas City, MO. The intended procurement is for supplies for which the Government intends to acquire under the guidelines of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions Procedures. However, all proposals received within 5 calendar days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered by the Government. This is not a request for proposals and there is no solicitation available at this time. The Government reserves the right to solicit bids based on the receipt of affirmative responses to this notice or issue an order to Campbell Scientific., whichever is determined to be more advantageous to the Government without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Offerors may send their proposal to email address karen.l.christian@noaa.gov or fax to 816-274-6952 ATTN: Karen Christian. The NAICS code for this requirement is 335999. All responsible sources may submit a quote which will be considered by the Agency. All contractors doing business with the Eastern Acquisition Division (EAD) must be registered with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR).
