About this opportunity
NASA's National Shared Services Center (NSSC) is seeking to procure 50 EnSci Electrochemical Concentration Cell (ECC) ozonesondes, payout reels, and meteorological parachutes for the SHADOZ long-term measurement stations in Ecuador. The procurement is intended to be a sole source contract awarded to JH Acquisitions, LLC under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), based on their status as the manufacturer of existing compatible ozonesondes. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by January 17, 2025, at 11:59 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, with the government reserving the right to evaluate responses and determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The evaluation will focus solely on determining the potential for full and open competition, and oral communications will not be accepted. NASA has designated an ombudsman for this acquisition, whose contact information is available on their website.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for this procurement, with the NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The contract will support multi-decadal balloon-borne ozone profile records used for satellite validation, ozone/pollution trends, and climate studies, with work to be performed at the Quito and San Cristobal SHADOZ stations. The performance period runs from March 2025 to February 2026, with station operators responsible for preparing, launching, and collecting ozonesonde data. NOAA SHADOZ colleagues will manage the pickup and shipping of instruments from the manufacturer to the Ecuador stations. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement will involve 50 units of specialized scientific equipment, managed by NASA Shared Services Center and supporting NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's research objectives.
