This document is an overview of a Sources Sought notice for a federal contract opportunity related to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Weather Surveillance Radar - 1988 Doppler KBOX.

The federal contract opportunity is seeking alternative locations to site the KBOX radar within Massachusetts or Rhode Island. The radar must be located on improved land that is zoned for airpark/airport or industrial use, outside of floodplains, and meets various technical requirements for radar operation. The government is seeking a site of between 10,500 and 21,800 square feet with 24/7 access, two means of ingress/egress, and access to utilities. A lease of up to 20 years is desired, with the government reserving the right to determine if a proposed site meets its needs. The government will conduct an environmental review through 2025, with equipment staging in 2025 and estimated occupancy by spring 2026. Responses to the Sources Sought notice are due by December 5, 2024.
