SOLE SOURCE: YSI Nile Water Level Sensors for the National Ocean Service Engineering Division in Chesapeake, VA.
Solicitation # 141016-26-0093
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Acquisition and Grants Office intends to award a sole source contract to YSI Inc. for the procurement of Nile custom water level sensors, Part Number 203360, and associated cables to serve as replacement parts for monitoring stations operated by the National Ocean Service Engineering Division in Chesapeake, Virginia. These sensors are critical components of the CO-OPS network, functioning as non-contact microwave radar instruments that measure water levels with high precision across coastal and inland waterways nationwide, including the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, the Pacific, the Great Lakes, and regions of Alaska. YSI/Xylem is identified as the sole manufacturer and distributor with exclusive proprietary knowledge and engineering rights to produce these sensors, which were specifically engineered to meet NOAA’s stringent requirements for durability in harsh marine environments, low power consumption, and seamless compatibility with existing data acquisition systems. Replacing these sensors with alternative equipment would necessitate extensive testing, recalibration processes, and system integration efforts, all of which would incur significant additional costs and delays. Existing CO-OPS field personnel and contractors are already trained in the installation, maintenance, and repair of these sensors, and NOAA possesses the specialized equipment and infrastructure to support their operation. Introducing different components would require new training programs, upgrades to testing and calibration facilities, and potential modifications to station infrastructure, all of which would disrupt ongoing operations and compromise data consistency. This sole source action is justified under FAR 6.103-1, with no competitive solicitation planned, though interested parties may submit substantiating documentation within 15 days of the notice to challenge the determination. The contract opportunity, identified under solicitation number 141016-26-0093, has a response deadline of August 26, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 334513 for electromagnetic and optical equipment manufacturing.
