NRC Repair/Reconditioning Services Multiple Award BPA

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

This solicitation is to establish a Multiple Award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for the National Weather Service (NWS) National Reconditioning Center (NRC) to provide services for the repair, refubishment, and/or reconditioning of various equipment or components of the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) and Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS). 

The overal NAICS Code will be 811219 (Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with an applicable size standard of $22.0 million. The corresponding Product Service Code (PSC) is J066. 

This Request for Quote (RFQ) is 100% set aside for small businesses. 

Awardees will receive BPAs with no guaranteed minimum order. The Government is only obligated to the extent of authorized purchases (call orders) made under the BPA. 

As of the date of this solicitation, there are currently eight (8) Statements of Work (SOW); however, the Government reserves the right to add additional SOWs that fall within the general scope of repair, reconditioning, and/or refurbishment services of NEXRAD or ASOS equipment/components.

At this time, the Government is only soliciting quotes from vendors who have already been technically approved and certified by the NWS NRC and/or Radar Operations Center (ROC) to perform the work identified under the SOWs. However, periodically, in order to enhance competition, the Government will request and evaluate quotes with the intention of adding vendors to the existing pool of qualified vendors. The Government reserves the right to re-open competition (On-Ramp) at any time during the term of the Agreement for the purpose of adding additional BPA holders. On-Ramp procedures may be implemented at any time by reopening the competition and utilizing substantially the same basis of award/evaluation factors as established in this initial solicitation. The Government anticipates issuing an On-Ramp solicitation for additional BPA holders at least on an annual basis. Any resulting BPA(s) awarded will include the same terms and conditions as the current basic agreement. Any additional BPA awarded via an On-Ramp process will share in, and in no way increase, the ceiling established for this requirement. Likewise, agreements awarded hereunder shall not exceed the remaining Period of Performance. The total Period of Performance shall be for five (5) years after the date of award. It is anticipated that the total value of the pool of BPAs established will not exceed $2.5 million. 

This solicitation and its incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2020-07 (effective 07/02/2020).
