About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a contract modification to extend National Weather Radio (NWR) maintenance services across Kentucky sites. The modification, valued at $39,390.25, provides a 77-day extension of preventative maintenance, logistical, and system support services for the National Weather Service's All-Hazards Weather Radio network throughout Kentucky. The sole source award was made to the Kentucky Authority for Educational Television (KET) based on their unique position as a state agency that houses NWS transmitters on Kentucky State facilities and owns the communication network handling all NWR transmissions in the state. KET maintains thirteen transmitter sites across Kentucky, including locations in Elizabethtown, Hazard, Lexington, and Louisville, providing critical 24/7 emergency weather communication services. The justification emphasizes that using alternative sources would require costly and disruptive site leases that could compromise the emergency weather communication system, making KET the only viable option for maintaining this life-safety critical infrastructure. The firm-fixed-price contract modification was awarded on July 16, 2025, to ensure continuity of services while NOAA works to award a follow-on contract.
