About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with the Virginia State Police (VSP) for weather radio transmitter maintenance services in Richmond, Virginia. NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, and the National Weather Service are seeking maintenance services for weather transmission equipment located on VSP premises. The contract would be awarded under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) authority for sole source procurement. The proposed contract includes an initial one-year performance period with four additional option years. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance.
The sole source determination is justified because the weather transmitter equipment is housed within a secure VSP facility on a VSP tower, accessible only to authorized VSP personnel and accompanied NOAA technicians. NOAA has determined that VSP is uniquely positioned to provide these maintenance services due to the sensitive and secure nature of the equipment location. While this is not a competitive solicitation, firms believing they can meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation within 15 days of the notice publication date of July 22, 2025, making the response deadline August 6, 2025. Any such submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted competitively. The government retains full discretion in deciding whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on received responses, and oral communications are not acceptable for this notice.
Notice text
***The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Acquisition & Grants Office (AGO), Western Acquisition Division-Boulder (WAD), and the National Weather Service (NWS), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Department of State Police (DSP)/Virginia State Police (VSP) located in Richmond, VA for weather transmitter maintenance services to be performed at the VSP in Richmond, VA.
***The sole source determination is based on NOAA’s requirement that DSP/VSP is the only vendor that provides these services because the weather transmitter is located on the VSP compound in a secure facility on a VSP tower. The location of the NOAA equipment at this secure and sensitive location is only accessible by AUTHORIZED VSP personnel and accompanied NOAA technicians. For this reason, VSP is the only entity that can maintain and repair the equipment with support from NOAA technicians.
Period of Performance: date of award to one year with four option years.
***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available.
