- Description
- Synopsis: The Department of Commerce, NOAA, National Weather Service (NWS), Office of Operational Systems intends to negotiate, on sole source basis, under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302 Other Than Full and Open Competition, with ULTRA-TECH, Inc. The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain spare assemblies for the NEXRAD Program. 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 function identical to the original equipment item. ULTRA-TECH has perfected the precisional cut and paint of the Data Housing Package. Other companies have bid and can distribute other companies work, but the few companies that have been identified as a source do not manufacturer. The original equipment was subjected 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 re-accomplished. This is not acceptable, as it would require significant funding and time to accomplish and would result in fielded NEXRAD systems being unavailable during the period. For this reason, only ULTRA-TECH are deemed acceptable at this time. ULTRA-TECH Part numbers: 2310034-301 (Qty 25), mounting plate 2310035-301 (Qty 25), housing data package Vendors who believe they can satisfy the Government's requirements are invited to submit an affirmative response. To be considered an affirmative response, vendors must submit written data and documentation that reflect meeting the aforementioned requirements. All responsible sources must submit a written narrative statement of capability including detailed technical information and other technical literature sufficient to permit agency analysis to determine a bona fide capability to meet the requirements. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement for competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within its discretion. Affirmative responses must be received within 10 days after publication of this synopsis. Information related to the potential availability of other sources that can fulfill this requirement must be received by the POC listed below no later than 5PM eastern time on July 7, 2014. This notice is not a formal solicitation. This is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposal (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. No purchase order will be awarded on the basis of quotation or offers received in response to this notice. Any response to this notice must show clear, compelling, and convincing evidence that competition will be advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received, the contract will be awarded without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. POC: Jeffrey Paul, NOAA/National Weather Service, 1325 East-West Highway, Room 3176, Silver Spring, MD 20910. Questions must be emailed to Jeffrey.Paul@noaa.gov.
