About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has published a Special Notice for the provision of support to the Wide Swath Radar Altimeter (WSRA) operations on the NOAA P-3 aircraft during the 2024 Hurricane Season. NOAA intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with ProSensing, Inc. out of Amherst, MA, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), to provide the required support.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to announce NOAA's intent to award a sole-source contract to ProSensing, Inc., the designer and developer of the WSRA hardware and software under a previous NOAA SBIR program. The period of performance for the contract will be from the date of award through April 30, 2025. While NOAA is not requesting competitive proposals, the agency will evaluate any documentation submitted by firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements within 15 days of the publication of this notice, solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. NOAA's decision not to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is at the sole discretion of the government.
