About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for annual weather station maintenance at the Barry M. Goldwater Range (BMGR). The contract is proposed to be awarded to the Nevada System of Higher Education dba Desert Research Institute (DRI), which has been managing weather station data since 2012. This non-competitive award is being implemented under FAR 13.106-1(b), which allows for single-source procurement when only one source can meet the specific requirement. The Special Notice covers maintenance for 11 weather stations, with DRI having an established infrastructure for data collection, processing, and reporting. The total contract value is $68,275.00, and the procurement is classified under the NAICS category for Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to formally communicate the government's intent to award a sole source contract to DRI for maintaining BMGR weather stations. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements or quotes via email to lauren.draus@us.af.mil and jacqueline.aranda.1@us.af.mil by 5:00 PM MDT on April 10, 2025. While the contract is intended to be awarded to DRI, the government will consider all quotes received before the deadline. The scope of work includes performing annual maintenance, providing weekly and monthly data updates, processing and posting data to DRI's web page, forwarding data to NOAA, and replacing sensors or equipment as needed during maintenance checks. The government has determined that soliciting alternative sources would incur significant additional costs for developing new systems and transferring historical data. Ultimately, the final determination of competition remains at the government's discretion, and contractors are encouraged to demonstrate their capabilities if interested in the opportunity.
