Questions Government Response

Is there a way NOAA could consider the period of performance to start on March 1st, 2020?

No, NOAA will not consider changing the period of performance to start on March 1, 2020.

What are the dimensions of the buoys and the available space to install the reference beacon on them?

Ancillary installations are generally limited to no more than an enclosure with the dimensions of 12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches and no more than 3 pounds (NOAA may consider variations on a case by case basis).

For an idea of available real estate, please view the photos on the website below of NOAA’s buoys:

In addition, there is a cylindrical compartment (30 inches in diameter that has available void space) on NOAA’s 3 meter buoys. NOAA recommends a waterproof or watertight enclosure to protect any installation.
