About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking small business sources to support the repair and refurbishment of Next Generation RADAR (NEXRAD) High Power Pulsed Radio Frequency Amplifiers (Klystrons) for the National Weather Service. The pre-solicitation notice focuses on repairing two specific klystron models: the Litton L-5782-20 and the Communication and Power Industries VKS-8287(A), which must conform to NWS specification 1213614 Revision C. Interested vendors must demonstrate certification by the NWS Radar Operations Center or National Reconditioning Center, provide detailed company profiles, and submit electronic responses by 2:00 PM EST on April 4, 2025. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical capabilities, repair experience, small business status, and ability to meet the detailed technical specifications outlined in the accompanying engineering drawings. Respondents must submit comprehensive documentation including product literature, photographs, specifications, and System for Award Management (SAM) registration details.
The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific small business designation, though it is targeted at small business participants. The anticipated contract is a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contract with an estimated volume of 5-30 klystrons per year to be repaired. The work will be performed under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, with repairs to be conducted at the contractor's facility and all repaired units shipped to the National Reconditioning Center in Grandview, Missouri. Contractors will be required to evaluate klystrons within 30 days of receipt, provide detailed repair recommendation reports, conduct 48-hour testing, and offer a one-year warranty on repaired units. The contract will involve bi-weekly video conferences with the National Reconditioning Center and adherence to strict technical specifications for klystron performance and condition.
