This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the Road Weather Information System (RWIS) Maintenance contract at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). The contract involves a proprietary equipment and software system from Vaisala Inc., consisting of seven sensors buried in runway pavement that collect atmospheric and surface condition data. These sensors transmit real-time information to a central processing unit, with data accessible through a web-based program called Navigator 2.0.

The contract is for a Base Year and four 1-year Option Years, with a major runway shutdown planned for 2027. The justification for single-source procurement is based on Vaisala Inc. being the sole proprietor of the current hardware and software, and the only company authorized to calibrate, maintain, and adjust the system. Market research was conducted to identify alternative providers, but no other companies were found capable of meeting the government's requirements. The contracting officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available, with the document signed on 15-Sep-2025 by the Contracting Officer.
