About this opportunity

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a Special Notice to negotiate a sole source contract with Met One Instruments to provide various Met One brand-name instruments and accessories for the United States Climate Reference Network (USCRN) program. NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division (ATDD) requires these specialized, customized items to maintain and expand the USCRN network, which provides highly accurate climate measurements.

The purpose of the Special Notice is to notify interested parties that NOAA intends to sole source this procurement to Met One Instruments, the only vendor determined capable of providing the required products. The anticipated award date is on or around August 11, 2023. While this is not a competitive solicitation, firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation within 15 days for the government's consideration of a competitive procurement approach. The key requirements include compatibility with existing USCRN stations, high-accuracy climate measurement capabilities, and stringent quality and durability standards.
