Procure SAILOR 120 XTR TVHD Antenna for NOAA ship

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is soliciting quotations for the procurement of one SAILOR 120 XTR TVHD antenna system to replace an obsolete satellite television antenna on the NOAA Ship RAINIER. This is a brand-name justification solicitation, meaning only quotes for the specified SAILOR 120 XTR TVHD antenna will be accepted. Key contract requirements include Buy American compliance with country of manufacture verification, SAM.GOV registration, and submission of at least two past performance references from separate contracts for similar services within the past two years. Evaluation criteria include past performance, specification sheets with authorized OEM letters to sell or distribute products, firm fixed-price pricing with FOB Destination terms, and an itemized cost breakdown. The deadline for quotation submission is 1:00 PM PST on February 26, 2026, with written questions due by 4:00 PM MST/MDT on February 16, 2026. The government will award a single firm fixed-price purchase order on an all-or-none basis to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror.

This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside, with a women-owned small business (WOSB) classification under NAICS code 334220. No incumbent contractor is identified, as this represents a single-source replacement procurement. The antenna system is being procured to support the NOAA Ship RAINIER's upcoming Alaska research mission, with delivery required no later than April 30, 2026, prior to the vessel's departure in June. The specific antenna configuration includes a Ku/Ka dual band tri-satellite system compatible with DIRECTV, an HD C24 receiver, a 1.30-meter dish, and a 1.64-meter tuned radome. Delivery must be made to Marine Operations Center - Pacific at NOAA Ship RAINIER in Newport, Oregon, with Dale Morrison, Port Engineer, designated as the recipient. Payment will be made on a Net 30 basis under firm fixed-price contract terms.
