About this opportunity
This Special Notice was published by the U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to award a sole source contract to AAK Power Supply Corporation. The notice intends to procure 325 units of a specific 5V power supply part number for the ASOS Visibility Sensor for the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, MO.
The Special Notice describes that the power supply is required to be identical to the item currently fielded to avoid adversely impacting the performance of the visibility sensor. Contractors have until January 17, 2024 to provide documentation to argue the procurement should be competitive, however a non-competitive award is within the government's discretion. Registering in the System for Award Management is also required for any contractor to do business with the issuing office. While not a solicitation, the notice provides an opportunity for contractors to submit substantiation for a competitive procurement of this requirement by the stated deadline.
Notice text
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisitions Division,intends to award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with AAK Power Supply Corporation, 73 Newton Road #2, Plaistow, NJ, 03685 for 325 each 5V Power Supply for the ASOS Visibility Sensor, Part Number CT15.15-.3SP, ASN:S100-2MT5A1PS1 NSN:6130-01-390-2211 for The National Logistics Support Center In Grandview, MO.
Sole Source Justification
The manufacturer confirmed there are no authorized distributors of this power supply. All spares for fielded equipment in this program are required to be identical to the item which is currently in use in the field. It is not possible to substitute for this item as introducing a different power supply could adversely impact the performance of the visibility sensor and this would adversely impact system availability. This part must be identical to what is in use to be a valid replacement. Acceptance of any item other than the original equipment would require that testing be completely re-accomplished. This is not acceptable, as it would require significant funding and time to accomplish. For this reason, only the specified power supply is deemed acceptable at this time.
Special Notice
This is the only notice to be posted. This special notice is not a request for competitive offers and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide the needed power supply may submit substantiating documentation in writing within the open period of this notice. Responses can be sent via e-mail to shelley.neubert@noaa.gov. Documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. If no documentation is received, award will be made directly to AAK Power Supply Corporation.
