About this award

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a delivery order to Graw Radiosondes GMBH & CO. KG for the procurement of 10,960 DFM-17 (403 MHz) radiosondes to support the Manual Radiosonde Observing System (MROS). The contract, valued at $854,880 plus a $17,097.60 government estimate of fee for service, totals $871,977.60 and is structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025. This award was issued on August 4, 2025, under NOAA's larger Indefinite Delivery Contract with Graw Radiosondes, which carries a ceiling value of $29.5 million and extends through September 2031. No set-aside designation was used for this procurement. Performance will take place in Germany, where Graw Radiosondes manufactures its meteorological instrumentation.

Graw Radiosondes, a Munich-based manufacturer specializing in advanced meteorological equipment, has been registered as a federal contractor since 2007 and serves as a key supplier of weather measurement technologies to NOAA's National Weather Service. The DFM-17 radiosondes being procured are upper-air sounding instruments used to collect critical atmospheric data including temperature, humidity, and pressure that directly support the National Weather Service's weather forecasting operations. A non-availability waiver for the DFM-17 radiosondes was reviewed and determined consistent with policy by the Office of Management and Budget, reflecting the specialized nature and limited commercial availability of this equipment for NOAA's operational requirements.
