About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order to Vaisala Inc. for Mini Dropsondes under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000. The agency has determined that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy their requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or a solicitation, and no solicitation package is available. The point of contact is Erik Wells at erik.wells2.civ@us.navy.mil.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to formally announce the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties have five calendar days from the publication date (until September 1, 2025) to respond and must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The procurement covers 100 Mini Dropsonde units plus freight, as detailed in the attached continuation sheet. Responses will be considered solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead of the planned sole source award. The government retains full discretion in deciding whether to compete this purchase order, and no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information.
