About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Acquisition Division intends to negotiate and award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Niyam IT, Inc. for specialized spectrum baselining, physical site viability assessments, and line-of-sight radar relocation analyses across Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) facilities nationwide, with a 12-month period of performance under FAR 19.1306 authority. The procurement is not set-aside.
NOAA's sole-source justification rests on Niyam IT, Inc. being the only known certified HUBZone concern possessing the integrated data architecture, proprietary geospatial analysis platforms, active security coordination, and specialized engineering capability to execute these requirements without introducing severe schedule delays or technical risk to National Weather Service weather forecasting operations. The supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.
This pre-solicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can fully meet the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing to the contracting specialist within 10 days after publication. The Government will evaluate such submissions solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis; a determination not to proceed competitively remains solely within Government discretion. Oral communications are not acceptable.
