The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) plans to award a sole-source, firm fixed price purchase order to Eastern Mountain Optics, Inc. for the detailed refurbishment of Fujinon 25x150 MTM “Big Eye” Binoculars under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 12.102(a). This non-personal service requirement demands highly specialized technical expertise to meet the exacting standards outlined in the Statement of Work, with the contract structured for a two-year performance period from 2026 to 2028, including one base year and one optional year. The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set Aside under NAICS code 459999, and while the award is intended to be non-competitive, NOAA is requesting capabilities statements from other qualified sources to assess whether a competitive process should be pursued instead. Interested parties must submit a comprehensive capabilities statement by Wednesday, 12 August 2026, at 1300 Eastern Time, containing technical data and cost information that clearly demonstrates the ability to fulfill the requirement. Responses must be sent via email only, in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format, with a total attachment size not exceeding 20 MB, and must include the exact subject line “143051-26-0094 - Big Eye Binocular Refurbishment.” Submissions are to be directed to Madison Vogeler and Aakanksha Bhargava at NOAA in Seattle, Washington, and offerors are responsible for confirming receipt before the deadline. Questions or inquiries alone do not constitute a valid submission, and the government retains full discretion in deciding whether to proceed with sole source or reopen the requirement for competition. The work will be performed in San Diego, California.
