About this opportunity
Paragraph 1:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service, Office of Observations, is seeking information on Ice Free Wind Sensors (IFWS) that are compatible with the current Automated Surface Observing Systems (ASOS) infrastructure. The IFWS are part of the sensor array that provides critical wind speed measurements to the National Weather Service. NOAA is looking for commercial off-the-shelf or non-developmental item sensors that meet specifications outlined in the attached Attachment I, including requirements for wind speed and direction accuracy, power, data interface, environmental protection, and reliability. Interested parties are requested to submit capability statements detailing their ability to meet the IFWS requirements by June 26, 2024.
Paragraph 2:
This opportunity is not set aside for any specific business classification. NOAA is not seeking proposals or quotes at this time, but rather aims to determine if capable sources exist to satisfy the agency's requirements. No potential incumbents or current contractors are named. The value of any future contract is not specified, and NOAA will not pay for any costs associated with responding to this Sources Sought Notice.
Notice text
Ice Free Wind Sensors (IFWS) are part of the sensor array that provides critical wind speed measurements to the National Weather Service (NWS) via the Automated Surface Observing Systems (ASOS). This requirement is for IFWS instruments that are compatible with the current ASOS existing infrastructure. The NWS Office of Observations (OBS) is responsible for the operations and maintenance of automated fielded systems that sense the atmosphere in support of surface based Aviation Operations. The ASOS program is an essential, joint mission in support of the NWS, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Department of Defense. The ASOS is the nation's primary system for collecting and reporting surface-weather observations, primarily at airports in support of aviation operations, as well as weather forecasting and the timely issuance of warnings.
