About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), operating through the Department of Commerce's Western Acquisition Division, is seeking a single contractor to develop, construct, and maintain a Phased Array Radar (PAR) Test Article for the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL). The procurement encompasses five major components: delivery of a Radar Test Article (RTA), construction of a Radar Test Facility (RTF), installation and integration of the RTA, documentation and training, and ongoing support and maintenance services. The PAR system must be a dual linear polarized, S-band radar capable of rapid volume updates of approximately 1.5 minutes through combined electronic and mechanical scanning, serving as a proof-of-concept for future National Weather Service radar technology to potentially replace the current WSR-88D system. The contract will be evaluated using a best-value trade-off process where non-cost factors are significantly more important than price, with key personnel requirements including a Program Manager, Construction Project Manager, Radar Systems Engineer, and Software Systems Engineer. Following multiple amendments, the final proposal submission deadline is March 17, 2025 at 10:00 AM MT, with oral presentations scheduled for the week of March 31, 2025, and contract award anticipated in Q4 FY2025.
This procurement does not utilize any small business set-aside designation and will result in a single award contract under NAICS code 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing). The total estimated value for the base period work is $88.5 million, with $70 million currently appropriated and an additional $18.5 million expected in FY2025 appropriations, while the five optional one-year support and maintenance periods are valued at $9.8 million total. The contract structure is hybrid, employing cost-plus-fixed-fee terms for the RTA, RTF construction, and integration tasks, firm-fixed-price for documentation and training, and time-and-materials for the optional support periods. The base period of performance spans three years from September 2025 through September 2028, with five additional one-year options extending through 2033. All work will be performed at a designated site in Norman, Oklahoma, located approximately 200-225 meters southwest of the existing Advanced Technology Demonstrator near the University of Oklahoma's Max Westheimer Airport.
