About this file
This Statement of Need document details NOAA's requirement to procure five (5) X Band Low Noise Amplifiers (X Band LNA) for the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) 14.2 M antenna system at the Wallops Command & Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS) in Virginia. The LNAs are critical components that receive and condition low-level incoming satellite signals, enabling continuous data collection for global customers. Three existing LNAs are underperforming and must be replaced, with two additional units to be kept as on-site spares to prevent potential data collection interruptions.
The procurement specifies delivery of the LNAs 28 weeks after award, to be shipped to 35663 Chincoteague Road, Wallops Island, Virginia 23337. The contractor must provide written shipment notification with tracking numbers to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), who will be identified at the time of award. No direct contractor access to facilities is required, as authorized personnel will install and configure the equipment following delivery by a third-party shipping service, using Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite Series-R (GOES-R) configuration management procedures.

STATEMENT OF NEED
NOAA Wallops Command & Data Acquisition Station
X Band LNA
1. Introduction/Background
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) is an organizational component of the National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS). The OSPO has operational responsibility for the Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC) at Suitland, MD and the Command and Data Acquisition Stations (CDAS) at Wallops, VA (WCDAS) and Fairbanks, AK to command and control the satellites, to track the satellites, and to acquire their data. The OSPO also manages and directs the operation of the central ground facilities which ingest, process, and distribute environmental satellite data and derived products to domestic and foreign users.
2. Scope of Work
The purpose of this acquisition is to procure five (5) X Band Low Noise Amplifiers (X Band LNA) for the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) 14.2 M antenna system. The X Band LNA is an integral part of the 14.2M antenna downlink system. The X Band LNA receives low level incoming satellite signals and conditions the signal to a usable level so the downlink receiving system can manipulate the signal. These LNAs enable the LEO 14.2 M antenna system to provide continuous, uninterruptible critical data to our global customers. The WCDAS must have spare devices available in order to keep the antennas in service and avoid interruption in the receipt of the incoming critical data. Recently completed testing identified the three LNAs currently in service are underperforming and must be replaced. Two of the five units to be procured will be kept on-site as replenishment spares to ensure there is no loss of data collection due to the ground system’s inability to track satellite.
