The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with Campbell Scientific Inc. (CSI) for hardware and software integration of new sensors for the CSI Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) 2.0 system. The ASOS is undergoing a service life extension, and the contract will provide hardware and software support services for the operations and maintenance of the ASOS data collection, system processing, and dissemination subsystems. The statutory authority for the sole-source award is FAR 6.302-1, as NOAA has determined that CSI is the only responsible source that can meet the agency's requirements.

The ASOS is undergoing a service life extension to extend the systems lifecycle beyond 2040. A phased approach to the upgrade is underway and includes the replacement of the data collection, system processing and dissemination subsystems. The ASOS program requires hardware and software support services for the operations and maintenance of the CSI Acquisition Control Unit, Data
Collection Package, and the Single Cabinet (ACU/DCP/SCA).
The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 541519 - Other

However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities, which, if timely received, will be considered by NOAA.
A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Evidence must be provided of ability to provide the required services. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the requirements. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to Contract Specialist Nataly Pringle at nataly.pringle@noaa.gov by 5:00PM EST, July 16, 2024.
