About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for atmospheric water vapor sounding services in Alaska, awarding contract 1333MJ25P0076 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks on September 25, 2025. The contract covers monthly upper atmospheric water vapor soundings from Alaska using specialized Cryogenic Frostpoint Hygrometer (CFH) and Frostpoint Hygrometer (FPH) instruments, with services including instrument preparation and calibration, support for NOAA launch personnel in Utqiagvik, parallel instrument flights for measurement cross-checking, and submission of quality-controlled data to the GCOS Reference Upper-Air Network (GRUAN). NOAA justified the sole source award based on the University of Alaska Fairbanks being the only known source with the necessary expendable payloads and specialized expertise for instrument preparation at the remote Alaska launch location. The firm fixed-price purchase order is valued at $21,000 with a one-year performance period beginning September 30, 2025. NOAA's market research, including searches of GSA, UNICOR, and Source America, plus three staff trips to Alaska, confirmed no alternative service providers were capable of executing this specialized atmospheric monitoring work.
