About this award
NOAA has awarded a $754.4 thousand delivery order to Graw Radiosondes GMBH & CO. KG, a Germany-based manufacturer of meteorological instrumentation, for the procurement of 8,200 DFM-17 (403 MHz) radiosondes to support the Manual Radiosonde Observing System. The award, issued on December 11, 2025, carries an ultimate completion date of January 30, 2026, and was structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order with no set-aside designation. This delivery order is issued under Graw Radiosondes' existing Indefinite Delivery Contract with NOAA, which was awarded on October 15, 2021, with a ceiling value of $29.5 million and extends through September 2031 to support NOAA's Radio Frequency Migration Project.
The radiosondes procured under this award will be used to collect critical atmospheric data including temperature, humidity, and pressure measurements to support the National Weather Service's weather forecasting and meteorological operations. A non-availability waiver for the DFM-17 radiosondes was reviewed and determined consistent with policy by the Office of Management and Budget, indicating that this specialized equipment is not available from domestic sources. As a registered vendor in the System for Award Management since July 2007, Graw Radiosondes has established itself as a key supplier of advanced meteorological equipment to NOAA, with a consistent track record of delivering thousands of radiosondes annually to support U.S. federal weather observation requirements.
