NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE:
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Acquisition and Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division, intends to award a sole source contract to FLYHT, Inc.
The purpose of this sole source contract is to procure Water Vapor Sensing System II (WVSS-II) sensors. The WVSS-II sensors shall be installed on existing commercial aircraft to increase meteorological data available to the NWS. The actual obtaining/ingesting of meteorological data is not part of this requirement. Current NWS commercial meteorological data contracts already exist and will be utilized for the additional aircraft-based meteorological observational data.
WVSS-II sensor measurements enhance weather forecast models by improving accuracy of predications and warnings of thunderstorms, flash floods, hail, tornadoes, clouds, icing, and other meteorological events, thereby increasing safety of life and property. WVSS-II sensors have been in operational use at United Parcel Service (UPS) and Southwest Airlines (SWA) beginning in early October of 2009. The WVSS-II sensor is designed for measurement of atmospheric water vapor from commercial aircraft, in conjunction with the NWS Meteorological Data Collection and Reporting System (MDCRS) program. The WVSS-II sensors provide vertical profiles of wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure, and related meteorological variables at high vertical resolution in the atmosphere from takeoff to cruise level, and multiple vertical heights, similar to radiosondes, adding to the existing MDCRS data. The WVSS-II sensor uses tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy technologies to measure water vapor concentrations along the aircraft flight path, with data communications to the ground by commercial carriers using existing Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System.
This acquisition shall be made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other Than Full and Open Competition as a... - Documents:
