- Description
***The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-s (NOAA) Acquisition & Grants Office (AGO), Western Acquisition Division-Boulder (WAD), Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), Earth Systems Research Laboratories (ESRL), Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with International Met Systems Inc (InterMet) located in Grand Rapids, MI for the purchase of 100 IMET-54-AS research radiosondes to be delivered to Boulder, CO.
***The sole source determination is based on NOAA-s requirement that InterMet is the only vendor that manufactures and distributes the IMET-54-AS radiosonde. InterMet is the only manufacturer of a radiosonde that is compatible with GML-s En-Sci electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) ozonesondes for electronic interface and software to decode the radiosonde meteorological data. Other radiosondes are not compatible with the existing system (form, fit, and function), and would require substantial modification to the system. This would require additional cost to the Government for modification, software, and training at all sites.
The InterMet radiosondes will be modified with an external power cable, that will interface with the GML-s ECC instrument. The radiosonde and ECC instrument are the two necessary components that make up the ECC balloon-borne ozonesonde package. This ozonesonde has been used since the 1980s to monitor ozone in the upper atmosphere through weekly balloon launches at up to nine sites including Fiji, American Samoa, Hawaii, California, Colorado, and the South Pole.
The InterMet radiosondes are designed to interface directly to the ECC instrument electronics board and then transmit all in-flight data to our low-cost radio-receiver ground station. The data is then processed with GML-s data acquisition software (SkySonde) and uploaded to NOAA and other databases to monitor the health of the stratospheric ozone layer in h... - Documents:
