About this file
This is a Statement of Need for a federal procurement by the National Weather Service (NWS) Radar Operations Center (ROC) for diagnostic test equipment to support the WSR-88D NEXRAD radar program.
The NWS ROC requires replacement of obsolete and defective diagnostic instruments used for operational radar readiness, maintenance, and repair of the WSR-88D NEXRAD system. The procurement specifies five contract line items (CLINs) for Keysight power measurement equipment totaling 150 units across all line items: CLIN 0001 calls for 30 Keysight Power Meters (Model N1913B-005 EPM with options 005, C01, and 300) featuring single-channel capability, dynamic range of -70 to +44 dBm, frequency range DC to 120 GHz, and front panel N-Type power reference port at 50 MHz; CLIN 0002 requires 30 Medium Power Sensors (Model N8481A) rated -35 dBm to +20 dBm, 10 MHz to 18 GHz; CLIN 0003 specifies 30 High Power Sensors (Model N8481H) rated -15 dBm to +35 dBm, 10 MHz to 18 GHz; CLIN 0004 calls for 30 Low Power Sensors (Model 8481D) rated -70 dBm to -20 dBm, 10 MHz to 18 GHz; and CLIN 0005 requires 30 Power Sensor Cables (Model 11730C, 6.1 meters/20 feet). All equipment must be delivered to the NWS ROC NEXRAD Program in Norman, Oklahoma within 365 days of award. Partial or incremental deliveries are acceptable. The Technical Point of Contact is Clinton Maples at the NWS Radar Operations Center, Norman, Oklahoma.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST EQUIPMENT
NWS ROC WSR-88D NEXRAD
STATEMENT OF NEED
PR# 142082-26-0233
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The Weather-Surveillance Radar 1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) Next-Generation Radar (NEXRAD) Program is managed by the National Weather Service (NWS) Radar Operations Center (ROC).
The ROC’s mission is to provide for the overall life cycle sustainment, ensure system reliability and network integration, and support of future technological advancements associated with the WSR-88D radar. The ROC’s priority is to keep operational radar systems running, sustain baseline operational radar system capabilities, improve radar system reliability, integrate new capabilities into the radar system, and support technology transfer.
1.2 Discussion
In order to support the overall life-cycle maintenance of the radar, various test and calibration equipment is required. This equipment has been procured and updated from the inception of the radar and given agency reference identification numbers in order to identify their individual uses for maintenance and calibration. Each piece of test equipment is maintained and inventoried by the ROC, individual radar sites, and/or the National Logistics and Reconditioning Center located in Grandview, MO. Some of the test equipment are shared due to the overall cost, or stored locally by the sites based on the maintenance requirement. Given the NEXRAD program is over 30 years old, in recent years the majority of the test and calibration equipment have either reached the end of their planned life cycle or are now obsolete. Therefore, in order to ensure the radar equipment associated with the WSR-88D operates properly, new updated equipment must be procured.
1.3 Requirement
The NWS ROC has a requirement to replace several obsolete and defective diagnostic instruments (test equipment) used to support the operational radar readiness, maintenance and repair associated with the WSR-88D NEXRAD radar.
2.0 Scope of Work
The contractor shall provide the diagnostic test equipment per the contract line item number (CLIN) deliveries listed below. Partial or incremental deliveries are acceptable.
