- Description
- The U. S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, Eastern Region Acquisition Division-Kansas City, (ERAD-KC), intends to solicit for purchase of 12 (CL31) Tramsmitter Boards, with Indium Gallium Arsendide Diod Laser Assembly, Class 1M Pulsed, Vaisala: NSN: 5998-01-5640915, ASN S100-2MT1-3A2 Vaisala, P/N CLT321SP. This item is being purchased for the National Weather Service (NWS) to be delivered to the National Logistics Support Center, Kansas City, MO. This acquisition is proposed to be a sole source to Vaisala Inc as the only known qualified source of this part due to the proprietary nature of the design. The purpose of this notice is to obtain spare assemblies for the ASOS Skv condition sensor (Vaisala CL31). All spares for this system are required to be identical to the item which was provided with the original equipment. It is not possible to substitute for this item; any logistical spares must be form, fit, and functions identical to the original equipment item. Vaisala, Inc considers this item as proprietary and so is the only known source of supply. The original equipment was subject to a stringent qualification test regime which included operational testing, field testing, and environmental qualification testing. Acceptance of any item other than the original equipment would require that testing be completely reaccomplished. This is not acceptable, as it would require significant finding and time to accomplish and would result in fielded CL31 systems being unavailable during the period. The intended procurement is for supplies for which the Government intends to acquire under the guidelines of FAR Part 1, Simplified Acquisition Procedures and FAR Part 12 Commercial Items. The use of a different part from a listed suggested source of supply or a part from a non-listed suggested source of supply which meets the specifications shall occur only after review/concurrence and a first article qualification by the Government. The NAICS code for this action is 334515. The NWS special packaging/marking requirement will be applicable. Firms, who believe they can provide this supply, must furnish detailed information, that demonstrates their experience and capability to provide the services, and satisfy the Government's needs. In addition shall include name, telephone number and address of concerns for which you have furnished this type of supply previously. Interested parties must respond within (7) seven calendar days after publication of this notice. If no affirmative responses are received, the Government intends to issue contract to Vaisala, Inc. All contractors doing business with the Government must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). No award can be made unless the vendor is registered with SAM. For more information and to register with the SAM, please access the following website: http://www.sam.gov/. In order to register with the SAM offerors must have a Dun & Bradstreet number. A Dun & Bradstreet number may be acquired free of charge by contacting Dun & Bradstreet on-line at http://www.dnb.com/product/eupdate/requestOptions.html or by phone at (800) 333-0505. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) package is attached to this notice. Offerors may submit their proposal to email address Sharon.walker@noaa.gov or fax to 727-664-3845. All responsible sources may submit a quote which will be considered by the Agency.
