About this opportunity
The National Weather Service Office of Observations (OBS) is seeking to procure Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Portable Barometer Pressure Standard (PBPS) sensors to support its Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) and Upper Air programs. The PBPS sensors must meet detailed technical specifications, including calibration, display and transmission capabilities, size and weight constraints, durability for field use, and specific measurement performance characteristics. The government may verify compliance through field and laboratory testing. The estimated quantity required is 467 units, with a deadline for responses of April 19, 2024.
There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. The applicable NAICS code is 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), and the PSC code is 6515 (Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus). The government has not identified any potential incumbents or provided information on the award value or budget range. The procurement is to satisfy the requirements of the Tri-Agency ASOS Sites, which include the National Weather Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Department of Defense.
Notice text
The National Weather Service Office of Observations (OBS) is responsible for the operations and maintenance of automated fielded systems that sense the atmosphere in support of surface based Aviation Operations. The ASOS program is an essential, joint mission in support of the National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Department of Defense (DOD). The ASOS is the nation's primary system for collecting and reporting surface-weather observations, primarily at airports in support of aviation operations, as well as weather forecasting and the timely issuance of warnings. There are approximately 960 ASOS sites globally.
Portable barometers are part of the sensor array that provides critical weather data to pilots, air traffic controllers, and DoD mission planners as identified in Interagency Agreements, which in turn are a part of the Observation Portfolio mission. Additionally, the sensors provide climate data, and in some cases the data provided aids local forecasters, emergency managers, first responders, etc. who rely on nearby weather data for community warning in case of weather emergencies such as wildfire, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. As part of our Interagency Agreements with the FAA and DoD, NWS purchases these and other observation equipment and provision them to the agencies
This requirement is to procure a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Portable Barometer Pressure Standard (PBPS) sensor capable of providing general requirements per the Specifications Document. The estimated number of sensors required to satisfy the number of operational sites is 467 for the Tri-Agency ASOS Sites.
