About this opportunity

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Department of Commerce's Eastern Acquisition Division is seeking to procure forty (40) Rotronic Humidity Probes with standard calibration (0.8% accuracy, Part Number HC2A-S3) and forty (40) Rotronic Adapter Cables (Part Number E2-02XX-ACT) for the National Data Buoy Center located at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. This is a brand name justified requirement for a firm fixed-price contract under solicitation number 1305M225Q0104, with the government intending to award to the responsive responsible quoter providing the best value in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and must respond to all ten items outlined in the Instructions to Offerors to be considered compliant. The evaluation criteria include technical specifications requiring the quoter to be an authorized ROTRONIC reseller, past performance, and price, with award intended for the lowest-price technically acceptable offeror. The solicitation has undergone two amendments, with the most recent amendment posted on July 15, 2025, reducing quantities from fifty to forty units due to insufficient government funding, and the response deadline is July 18, 2025.

This procurement is set aside for Total Small Business concerns under NAICS code 334511 with a size standard of 1,350 employees, though the original solicitation documents indicate it was initially designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses. No incumbent contractors are specifically identified in the solicitation materials. The contract requires delivery within 30 days after receipt of order, with all equipment to be delivered to the National Data Buoy Center at John C. Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. The solicitation has been amended twice, first to address part obsolescence for the adapter cables and extend the deadline by three days, and second to reduce quantities from fifty to forty units due to funding constraints while again extending the acceptance period by three days. All previous quoters must sign and return the amendment acknowledgment (SF-30 form) or risk exclusion from further consideration in the final review process.
