AI Contract Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Air Resources Laboratory intends to award a sole-source purchase order to JH Acquisition, doing business as EN SCI, for seventeen cryogenic frostpoint hygrometers with inlet tubes and lithium metal batteries, to be delivered to Riverdale, Maryland. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.103-1 because JH Acquisition is the sole manufacturer and distributor of this specialized equipment, making competition impractical. The contract has a 45-day delivery window beginning on the date of award, and the associated NAICS code is 334519. Although the solicitation is designated as a Small Business Set Aside in type, the sole-source nature overrides any set-aside intent, as no other vendors can meet the technical requirements. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Barbara Shifflett of NOAA/ARL, with a response deadline for any substantiating documentation or requests for additional information set for August 14, 2026. No competitive bidding is currently planned, and the government retains full discretion to proceed as a sole-source transaction regardless of any external submissions.
