About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is procuring fifty-five (55) CIAO Wireless Amplifiers, Part Number CA24-456, for use as critical spare parts in the WSR-88D Severe Weather Radar systems at the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, Missouri. The solicitation requires offerors to be authorized CIAO Wireless resellers capable of providing radio frequency amplifiers with specific technical specifications including a frequency range of 2.60 to 3.10 GHz, gain of 40.00 ± 2.00 dB, and maximum noise figure of 3.50 dB. The government will evaluate quotes based on four criteria: specifications compliance, past performance with at least two references demonstrating successful contract performance, expected lead time considering delivery urgency, and price. The solicitation initially requested sixty amplifiers but was amended to reduce the quantity to fifty-five due to insufficient time for additional government funding approval. The response deadline is September 5, 2025, following multiple amendments that extended the original due date and modified contract requirements.
This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334419 with a size standard of 750 employees, utilizing a firm-fixed price contract structure with best value award determination. No specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation documents, though the amendment reducing quantities from sixty to fifty-five units suggests budget constraints influenced the final procurement scope. The contract requires delivery to the National Reconditioning Center in Grandview, Missouri, with products meeting strict environmental specifications including thermal shock resistance from -55°C to +125°C and operational temperature ranges from +10°C to +35°C. Successful contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide a one-year warranty against material and workmanship defects. The amplifiers serve as critical components for the R400-4A1 RF Generator in radar systems, with the government's brand name justification indicating that alternative products could compromise radar functionality.
