- Description
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) instruments, maintains and operates aircraft in support of a variety of meteorological and oceanographic research projects. One of the primary requirements in a variety of missions involves measuring and recording the atmospheric conditions below the aircraft. The method used to obtain these atmospheric profiles utilizes an expendable dropwindsonde which is launched from the aircraft, and then transmits meteorological data back to a radio receiver and processing system onboard the aircraft. The system used by AOC and other U.S. Government agencies is called the Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS). NOAA is issuing this notice to determine what qualified sources exist that would be capable of manufacturing the dropwindsonde using a build-to-print drawing set. Responses to this sources sought notice should demonstrate the following: 1. Experience within the past five (5) years manufacturing products with embedded sensitive meteorological or similar sensors. 2. Experience within the past five (5) years manufacturing products with high accuracy, sensitive sensors requiring validation and tests utilizing test equipment calibrated to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable standards. 3. Experience within the past two (2) years manufacturing a product with more than five hundred (500) units completed and delivered per year. Minimum complexity of the product is a combined fifty (50) mechanical and electronic component count. 4. Experience within the past (5) years manufacturing aircraft launched instrumentation utilizing radio frequency telemetry. This is not a solicitation and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, implied or otherwise, to issue a solicitation or award a contract. Along with the requested capabilities information, interested sources should provide the following business information: 1. Company Name and Address 2. Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code 3. DUNS Number 4. Point of Contact Name 5. Phone Number 6. Email Address 7. Company Website 8. Business size relative to the size standard for the NAICS Code and socioeconomic category (i.e. Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Women-Owned Small Business, Other than Small Business). All responses are required to be received by 2:00 pm Central Time on Monday, January 5, 2015. Packages should be sent electronically in a format compatible with Adobe Reader to Michael Dolly via email at michael.s.dolly@noaa.gov.
