Description

The United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to solicit, negotiate and award a small business, sole source purchase order to Ewing International for the procurement of five (5) Ewing Steel Bases for the wind towers used for the Automated Surface Observation System (ASOS) for the National Weather Service (NWS), National Logistics Support Center (NLSC) in Grandview, MO. The Government intends to utilize the authority under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will satisfy agency requirements, unless, as a result of this announcement, acceptable responses to this notice are received and a determination is made by the Government to issue a competitive solicitation. The Government intends to award a purchase order to Ewing International for the procurement of proprietary steel wind tower bases for the NWS, NLSC based on their compatibility in form, fit and function with already existing systems as replenishment spares. Sole Source Justification: The required supplies or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems or equipment and the source is uniquely qualified to meet the requirement. These mounting bases are peculiar to the ASOS LEDWI and are required for the ASOS to report present weather which is required to support airport operations. This acquisition is proposed to be sole sourced Ewing International as the only known qualified source of this assembly. Logistics replacement parts for ASOS are required to be form, fit, and functionally identical to the parts currently deployed on fielded systems. As this acquisition supports replacement of wind tower bases at fielded ASOS sites, they are required to be identical to the equipment currently fielded. No substitution is acceptable. The National Weather Service does not own the design package for wind tower base assemblies, and they are considered proprietary to Ewing International. Manufacturers that propose a solution using other than Ewing Steel Bases must furnish detailed specifications and descriptions to demonstrate their capability to provide the required supplies that satisfy the Government�s needs. To be considered, interested parties must be able to demonstrate their ability to provide comparable steel bases that meet the specific characteristics of the Ewing International P/N 90011-10B. Capability information shall include, at minimum, name, telephone number, address of customers for which you have previously furnished the required supplies, and a detailed narrative that describes your ability to provide the required supplies as specified. The Government will give price preference to US made products. Interested parties must respond via email to Nikki.radford@noaa.gov prior to the closing of this notice. The NAICS code for this requirement is 332999. The government intends to solicit and negotiate with the only known source (Ewing International) that can provide the specific steel bases. This is not a request for quotes or proposals and there is no solicitation available at this time. The Government reserves the right to solicit quotes based on the receipt of affirmative responses to this posting without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to open competition to businesses other than Ewing International. All contractors doing business with this Contracting Office (Eastern Acquisition Division � Kansas City) must be registered with a valid Unique Entity Identification (UEI) number with the System for Award Management (SAM) website. Vendors can register with SAM at the following website https://www.sam.gov.
