About this opportunity

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, Office of Atmospheric Research, Global Monitoring Laboratory, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with JH Acquisition, LLC out of Westminster, CO for the procurement of ozonesondes for balloon launches. This Special Notice is being issued under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).

The sole source determination is based on NOAA's requirement that JH Acquisition, LLC is the sole entity in the United States that can meet and provide the required need for ozonesondes. JH Enterprises Inc is the sole provider of Electrochemical Concentration Cell (ECC) ozonesondes that can be used with NOAA's low-cost ground station systems, as other ozonesondes cannot be modified to fit the current ground station setups. The required delivery date is within 12 weeks from the date of award, to be picked up by the program office. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, 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, which will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.
