About this opportunity

This Special Notice was published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to announce its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Rose Electronics Distributing Company, LLC. The NOAA requires 25 alkaline battery packs of two types that are proprietary to Rose Electronics for compatibility with existing RFLEX systems used for surface and subsurface ocean data collection via integrated electronics modules.

The Special Notice provides details on the battery requirements, including part numbers and quantities needed, and sets a delivery deadline of May 30, 2024. Interested parties have 15 days from the notice publication date of December 8, 2023 to provide substantiating documentation demonstrating their ability to meet the battery needs if seeking to make the procurement competitive. Otherwise, the NOAA will sole source award the contract to Rose Electronics based on its batteries being the only ones currently compatible with the specialized ocean-monitoring equipment requiring an uninterrupted power source. No solicitation is currently available as this is a pre-solicitation notice to give contractors an opportunity to argue for full and open competition.
