Single Source Determination 1305M220CNWWR0057 P25007_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Determination using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for a contract extension with the Colorado Department of Public Safety (CDPS). The two-month extension, valued at $54,052.50, is for preventative scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, logistical, and system support services for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) All-Hazards Weather Radio (NWR) network in Colorado. CDPS is deemed the only capable source due to their unique position as a state agency that owns transmitter facilities, communication networks, and provides restricted access to NWR transmission sites across 28 locations in Colorado, including Alamosa, Denver, Pueblo, and other cities.

The extension is critical for maintaining continuous protection of life and property, with CDPS being the sole source available to provide the required services without disruption. The contract is a firm-fixed-price award, justified by the urgency of maintaining 24/7 weather radio transmissions and the potential high cost and risk associated with attempting to change providers or relocate equipment. The modification will extend services from July 17, 2025, to September 16, 2025, using procedures under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, with the contracting activity being the Department of Commerce NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division.
