- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Acquisition Division-Kansas City office intends to award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Microtech Inc. for two hundred (200) Flexible Waveguides for the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Operations Division. A Sources Sought notice was posted on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website on June 9, 2014 and closed on June 19, 2014. No responses were received. Justification for Sole Source The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain spare flexible waveguide assemblies for the NEXRAD program. All spares for this system are required to identical to the item which was provided with the original equipment. The manufacturer Microtech Inc, is considered the only source of supply due to the proprietary nature of the design for the flexible waveguides. Any attempt to reproduce this item from a source other than Microtech Inc. would require that the Government re-qualify the part at considerable cost to the Government whose cost savings could not be recovered using open competition. If the NWS cannot procure the needed flexible waveguides, it will have a negative impact on NWS ability to replenish their stock and will result in fielded NEXRAD systems being unavailable.
