About this file

This single source justification document identifies the need for snow sensor repair services. The National Resources Conservation Service requires repair of specialized snow sensors that measure snowpack levels across remote mountain locations. These sensors use proprietary hardware and software that is only compatible with the existing infrastructure from one manufacturer. Market research found no comparable alternatives that meet the technical standards and specifications. The solicitation is for sensor repairs through the Department of Agriculture's Farm Production and Conservation agency under a sole source justification due to the proprietary nature of the specialized equipment. Repairs are needed to ensure accurate snowpack measurement data is collected to support water resource management throughout the 2023 season.
