About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Acquisition & Grants Office has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement with Original Code Consulting in Boulder, CO. The contract focuses on Labview data acquisition software and support services to be performed at NOAA's Chemical Sciences Laboratory. NOAA is pursuing this sole source approach because Original Code Consulting is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the MICAS-X software package, which is specifically designed for highly configurable data acquisition system interfacing. The software is critical for NOAA's existing Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) instruments and iWAS system components. The procurement is uniquely tailored to the specific technological requirements of NOAA's scientific instrumentation.
The Special Notice outlines a potential contract with a base year from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026, with two additional one-year option periods. While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested firms have 15 days from the publication date to submit written documentation demonstrating their ability to meet the government's requirements. The government will evaluate these submissions to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, though the final decision remains solely at their discretion. Original Code Consulting's unique position stems from their previous development of custom LabView code for the iWAS system components and their exclusive support of the MICAS-X software package. Contractors seeking to challenge the sole source determination must provide comprehensive written evidence of their capabilities within the specified timeframe, with oral communications explicitly not accepted as valid responses.
Notice text
***The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Acquisition & Grants Office (AGO), Western Acquisition Division-Boulder (WAD), Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Original Code Consulting located in Boulder, CO for Labview data acquisition software and support services to be performed in Boulder, CO.
***The sole source determination is based on NOAA’s requirement that Original Code Consulting is the only vendor that manufactures and distributes Labview data acquisition software and support services. Original Code Consulting offers a software package known as MICAS-X, written in the LabView programming language, that is specifically designed for highly configurable interfacing for data acquisition systems. This software package is modular, meaning that individual data acquisition components can be selected and assembled at the choice of the user. The existing code for the NOAA Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) instruments is written in this platform. No other vendor can support this existing software. Original Code Consulting has previously written the custom LabView code for all components of the iWAS system, except for the GC-MS instrument. All components of the iWAS system (flight system, GC-MS instrument, calibration system, and cleaning oven) must all be compatible and serviceable. Original Code Consulting is the only vendor that supplies, supports, and services the MICAS-X software package, and the associated LabView programming language, codes, and interfacing built into and compatible with the iWAS/GC-MS and CRDS instruments used by NOAA CSL.
Period of Performance:
Base Year: March 1 2025 to Feb 28, 2026
Option Year 1: March 1 2026 to Feb 28, 2027
Option Year 2: March 1 2027 to Feb 28, 2028
***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such 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 responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
