- Solicitation Number: D13PS00407 Title: Upper Air Equipment to Support Kodiak Alaska and Wallops Island NAICS Code: 334519 Product Code: 6660 Agency Contact Information: Acquisition Services Directorate Interior Business Center Department of the Interior 381 Elden Street, Suite 4000 Herndon, VA 20170- Place of Performance: Product shall be delivered to: NOAA, National Weather Service Sterling Field Support Center 43741 Weather Service Road Sterling, VA 20166 The Government intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, a firm-fixed-price (FFP) acquisition with Lockheed Martin Sippican, Inc. This non-competitive action is being issued by the Acquisition Services Directorate under the authority of the Department of the Interior Franchise Fund on the behalf of the Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS). This action is being processed in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source. The items being procured are as follows: Upper Air Equipment to Support Kodiak Alaska and Wallops Island ItemDescriptionQuantityUnit CostTotal Cost 1Lockheed Martin Sippican LMG6 Radiosonde Ground System 2$24,180$48,360 2Lockheed Martin Sippican LMS6 Radiosondes60$135.95$8,157 Description: The current inflation building on Kodiak Island has been deemed to be unsafe by the United States Coast Guard and can no longer support the Upper Air operations. In order to continue Upper Air Operations, the Upper Air Program Office of the National Weather Service will temporarily install a LMG6 Ground System. The LMG6 ground system will only process data from the LMS-6 radiosonde. This is due to the proprietary nature of the algorithms used to decode the telemetry data from the LMS6 radiosonde. The National Weather Service currently supports Upper Air Operations at the NASA Wallops Island facility and starting in the fall upper air operations will be temporarily supported in Kodiak, Alaska using the LMG6 ground system. In conjunction with the existing LMG6 ground systems, these two systems to be procured will provide additional support to upper air testing and upper air operations when required under normal or emergency circumstances. Government has no rights to the design; it cannot fully specify the design to another manufacturer. Any attempt to duplicate the design would be cost-prohibitive and infringe on the rights of the current owner. Due to the unique physical characteristics and physical form of the assembly, there are no acceptable alternative parts. The period of performance for this effort is for 5 months from date of award. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities by Monday August 26, 2013 to shavonne_king@ibc.doi.gov. This is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all information received will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
