About this opportunity

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) sensors and repair parts for Fiscal Year 2025. The notice specifically indicates an intent to negotiate with Forest Technology Systems (FTS), a single source vendor located in Victoria, B.C. The procurement includes a comprehensive list of 36 unique sensor and part items, ranging from solar radiation sensors to dataloggers and various electronic components. The total estimated acquisition value is $173,246.75, and the procurement is authorized under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302.1. The action is classified as an unrestricted requirement under NAICS code 334513 for Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to fulfill public posting requirements and provide notification of a non-competitive procurement process. Contractors have until 5:00 PM Eastern on February 14th, 2025, to submit evidence that they can provide comparable items at or below the estimated transaction cost. While the BLM believes FTS is the only responsible source capable of meeting their requirements, they are open to alternative vendors who can demonstrate comparable capabilities. No Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be issued, and no responses will be accepted via telephone or letter. Interested firms must provide compelling evidence of their ability to meet the specification and cost requirements directly to the Contracting Officer, Casey Boyd, via email. If no affirmative responses are received by the stated deadline, an order will be placed with FTS for the specified RAWS parts and sensors.
