Purchase Order 140L3723P0010

This is a firm fixed price purchase order awarded by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) to Met One Instruments, Inc., a manufacturer of meteorological instrumentation and air quality monitoring equipment located in Grants Pass, Oregon. The $16,500.00 contract is for the purchase of potentiometer assemblies that will be used to repair wind direction sensors for the FTS Weather Sensor system. This sole source procurement was justified under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. The requirement is not set aside for any small business program. Met One Instruments is a key provider of environmental monitoring solutions, including air quality monitors and weather stations, to various civilian agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service, EPA, NASA, and NOAA, as well as defense customers including the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This purchase order is likely part of Met One's broader support for wildfire management and environmental monitoring efforts by the federal government.
