About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a sole source justification for atmospheric air sampling flights at Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network sites in West Branch, Iowa and Homer, Illinois, valued at $93,240.00. The contract was awarded to M & M Aviation Services, Ltd. of Rock Falls, Illinois on August 5, 2025, for specialized air sampling services using their aircraft equipped with GML small aircraft atmospheric air collection systems and meteorological instruments. The sole source justification was based on M & M Aviation's unique qualifications and compatibility with existing systems, as the company has been successfully conducting these research flights since 2010 and possesses the necessary modified aircraft, pilot certifications, FAA approvals, and technical expertise required for the specialized government instrumentation.
