General - The Contractor shall take, document, and disseminate upper air radiosonde observation soundings in accordance with the most recent revisions of FMH Number 3 and NWS Manual 10-1401 and all revisions including those which take effect during the course of the contract. The minimum performance standard for this requirement is: all scheduled observations shall be taken and disseminated in accordance with the provisions of this solicitation. During equipment outages the contractor is still responsible for the transmission of the appropriate report containing the 101XX groups to document the outage. No deduction will be made for missing observations due to equipment failure. These codes can be found in NWS Manual 10-1401 Appendix F. If the missed observation was due to weather, the report shall include the official surface observation for one (1) hour before and one (1) hour after the standard release time.

ii. Time Schedules and Personnel Requirements for Taking Radiosonde Observations. Soundings shall be taken two times daily, each and every day of the contract period. Observations shall have a standard time of 0000 and 1200 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Whenever, for any reason, a scheduled sounding is not taken, the cause shall be documented in detail by the Contractor and sent to the COR and the Supporting Weather Forecast Office via email within an hour of the close of the scheduled time window.

iii. Normally, the completion of one radiosonde observation using the Radiosonde Replacement System (RRS) software interfaces requires the attention of one certified observer for a period of about four hours. The contractor is required to have an observer on duty at the observing facility from 1000 to 1400 and 2200 to 0200 UTC each day of the contract period. Additional time may be required when second releases are needed or other problems arise. On average, there are six (6) second releases annually.

iv. Reduction of Raw Data. The Contractor shall reduce the raw radiosonde data to usable sounding data by use of an on-site computer system furnished by the Government.

v. Balloon Inflation. Sounding balloons used in taking radiosonde observations shall be inflated with hydrogen or helium gas, at the discretion of the Government.

The Contractor shall take the necessary steps to insure that appropriate safety measures are followed when working with hydrogen and helium gas. Currently, San Diego and Salem utilize Hydrogen, while Oakland utilizes Helium.

vi. Dissemination of Data - The Contractor shall disseminate all radiosonde observations to the National Weather Service via a Government-furnished communications system or manually by telephone in the event of a failure of the system.

vii. Whenever the USI (TTAA) data cannot be disseminated via the government furnished communications system within the scheduled time window, the Contractor shall convey all available data to the Senior Duty Meteorologist at the National Center for Environmental Prediction, College Park, Maryland, via telephone (301-683-1545) within an hour of the close of the scheduled time window.

7. SPECIAL RADIOSONDE SOUNDINGS

i. The Contractor shall be prepared to take up to seven (7) additional special radiosonde soundings in the base period and twelve (12) additional special radiosonde soundings per full option year. These special soundings are option line items, and the Government reserves the right not to exercise them. Note that the contract will only include funding at time of award for four (4) additional special radiosonde soundings in the base period. Each option period will only be awarded with funds for six (6) special soundings. If the remaining specials are needed the contract will be modified to include the needed funding for these pre-priced special soundings. Special radiosonde soundings are defined as those soundings requested by the NWS in addition to those specified in Section 6. The minimum performance standard for this requirement is: all special soundings requested by the NWS shall be properly taken. Taking a special radiosonde sounding, using computer reduction, normally requires the attention of one certified observer for a period of approximately four hours.

ii. Notification Procedures for Special Radiosonde Soundings - Whenever possible, the NWS will provide at least twelve (12) hours advance notice before a special sounding is required. However, during a weather emergency, this amount of advance notification may not be possible. The Contractor is expected to make every effort to take the requested sounding during weather emergencies with a lesser advance notification time. Special soundings may require special dissemination and handling procedures. The Contractor will be instructed with regard to special dissemination and handling requirements when the request for a special radiosonde sounding is made.

iii. Authorized Contractor Personnel - Five days after notice of contract award, the Contractor shall furnish to the COR and the supporting Weather Forecast Office the names and telephone numbers of Contractor personnel for each site to be contacted to request a special radiosonde sounding.
