About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Graw Radiosondes GMBH & CO. KG on October 15, 2021, with a ceiling of $29,491,428 and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2031. The contract procures DFM-17 403 megahertz radiosondes and related meteorological instrumentation for NOAA's National Weather Service and Radio Frequency Migration Project. Place of performance is Germany. Each delivery order under this contract carries an OMB non-availability waiver reflecting the specialized and limited commercial availability of DFM-17 radiosondes.

From November 2021 through September 2026, NOAA issued at least 18 delivery orders under this IDIQ totaling approximately $14.7 million in combined potential value. Recent orders include a $1,686,080 delivery order issued July 13, 2026; a $950,400 order issued July 30, 2026; and a $475,200 order issued September 10, 2026, all for DFM-17 radiosondes supporting National Weather Service operations and the Radio Frequency Migration Project. Earlier orders procured quantities ranging from 2,700 to 11,860 units for the Manual Radiosonde Observing System, with unit prices ranging from $78 to $98 per radiosonde across 2024 and 2025 awards.

All delivery orders are firm fixed price with no set-aside designation. Graw Radiosondes, a German manufacturer based in Nuremberg, holds no SBA certifications and competes full-and-open. The vendor has been registered in SAM since 2007 and delivers thousands of radiosondes annually to support U.S. federal weather observation requirements.
