About this file
This is a Statement of Need for diagnostic test equipment required by the National Weather Service (NWS) Radar Operations Center (ROC) to support the WSR-88D NEXRAD radar system. The document establishes the requirement to procure replacement diagnostic instruments due to obsolescence and defects in existing test and calibration equipment used for operational radar readiness, maintenance, and repair. The NEXRAD program, managed by the NWS ROC, is over 30 years old, and the majority of test equipment has reached end-of-life or become obsolete, necessitating procurement of updated equipment.
The procurement encompasses two Contract Line Items (CLINs): CLIN 0001 requires 11 Keysight Signal Generators (p/n N5171B, Options 303 and 506) with microwave/RF frequency range of 9 kHz to 6 GHz at 120V; CLIN 0002 requires 11 Keysight Diode (Crystal) Detectors (p/n 8470B, Options 3 and 12) with N-Type M, BNC F Low Barrier Schottky specifications covering 10 MHz to 18 GHz. The Period of Performance is 365 days after award with partial or incremental deliveries acceptable. Deliveries must be made to the NWS ROC NEXRAD Program in Norman, Oklahoma (1200 Westheimer Dr., Norman, OK 73069). The Technical Point of Contact is Clinton Maples of the Retrofit Management Team at the NWS Radar Operations Center.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST EQUIPMENT
NWS ROC WSR-88D NEXRAD
STATEMENT OF NEED
PR# 142082-26-0235
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The WSR-88D 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 (NLRC) 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 National Weather Service (NWS), Radar Operation Center (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.
