About this file
This document is a single source justification for a simplified acquisition procurement. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration seeks to procure one Bare Aero Aviation Antenna from SpaceX Corporation for initial testing and evaluation by the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center. It also seeks to procure two months of global aviation subscription services from SpaceX's Starlink system. SpaceX is identified as the only source that can meet NOAA's needs, as Starlink is currently the only system available offering global low Earth orbit satellite internet services with advertised performance exceeding all other available at-sea options by at least an order of magnitude. The related federal contract opportunity is a special notice for the Department of Commerce NOAA to negotiate this sole source procurement of one Starlink antenna and two months of subscription services from SpaceX. The solicitation number is NM-AN2200-23-01176.
