This announcement serves as a notice of intent to solicit to only one source under FAR 13.106. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334513.

The Bureau of Reclamation intends to award a purchase order to YSI Inc. to provide 15 data control platform (DCP) upgrades to the products that the vendor developed. The contract will be for a delivery time of 6 months after receipt of order.

Some of the tasks include:
• Task 1a - Retrofit fifteen (15) H-522 DCP’s with new YSIT GOES Satellite Radios to the new specification, H-522P-V2. The contractor shall provide the parts and labor, special tools, and safety equipment. The vendor will receive three (3) to (4) DCP batches from the Government each month for upgrade requirements. The vendor shall supply the cost of transport of the DCPs back to Reclamation when upgrades/repairs are completed for each batch.

The delivery schedule is as follows:

Deliverable per Task Schedule
Task 1 – Upgrade the first 3 to 4 H-522 DCPs and repair Award Date + 1 month
Task 2 – Upgrade next 3 to 4 H-522 DCPs and repair Award Date + 2 months

These are only some of the tasks that will be included in the purchase order.

The existing radio transmitters within the DCP’s can only be integrated internally with YSI-T satellite radios. Reclamation believes YSI is the only vendor capable of providing the requested upgrades that provide the best value to the Government.
