About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Air Resources Laboratory issued a sole-source justification on August 5, 2026, for a purchase order with JH Acquisition (dba EN SCI) for seventeen cryogenic frostpoint hygrometers with inlet tubes and lithium metal batteries, with delivery to Baltimore, Maryland within 45 days of award. No small business set-aside applies to this sole-source procurement under FAR 6.103-1; NOAA has determined that JH Acquisition is the only vendor manufacturing and distributing this equipment. The hygrometers will support the GCOS Reference Upper Air Network (GRUAN) program at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement site, providing high-quality humidity measurements for upper troposphere and lower stratosphere evaluation. The independent Government estimate is $60,000, with equipment subsequently delivered to Beltsville, Maryland. Firms believing they can fully meet the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing to Barbara Shifflett (NOAA/ARL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee) within 15 days of this notice's publication. Responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement; oral communications are not acceptable. A determination to proceed on a competitive basis remains solely within the Government's discretion.
