About this opportunity

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for National Weather Radio (NWR) transmitter maintenance services specifically for Wisconsin sites. The contract was awarded as a sole source, firm-fixed-price agreement to the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board (ECB) for $1,498,059.36, utilizing FAR Part 13 procedures for simplified acquisitions. The procurement covers critical transmitter maintenance services necessary for the operational functionality of the National Weather Service's National Weather Radio All-Hazard Radio system across Wisconsin. The contract structure includes a 12-month base period followed by four additional 12-month option periods, creating a potential five-year service agreement. The sole source justification appears to be based on the specialized nature of the maintenance services required and the Educational Communications Board's unique capabilities to support this critical weather communication infrastructure. The contract was officially awarded on September 5, 2025, under the procurement method of "Other than Full and Open Competition" due to non-competitive circumstances under FAR 13 regulations.
