- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisitions Division-Kansas City office intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with ETI Instrument Systems, Inc. forty-five (45) each Wind Shield Assembly, Automated Surface Observing Systems (ASOS) Heated Tipping Bucket, Part Number 62828-90191-1, NSN 6660-01-390-9548 for ASOS rain gauges. Sole Source Justification This equipment is proprietary to ETI Instrument Systems, Inc. and is the only known source of supply. All spares for this system are required to be form, fit, and functional identical to the item provided with the original equipment. It is not possible to substitute for this item. The original equipment was subjected to a stringent qualification test regime which included operational testing, field testing, and environmental qualification testing and meteorological performance was verified to be compliant with National Weather Service requirements. Acceptance of any item other than 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 ASOS systems being unavailable during the period. For this reason, only Part Number 62828-9019101(formerly supplied by the original ASOS vendor as a specification control item) produced by ETI Instrument Systems Inc are deemed acceptable at this time. Sources Sought This sources sought notice is not a request for competitive offers and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide the required equiment may submit substantiating documentation in writing within five days of this notice. Responses can be sent via e-mail to shelley.smith@noaa.gov. Documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
