AI Contract Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Air Resources Laboratory intends to award a sole-source purchase order under FAR 6.103-1 to JH Acquisition, doing business as EN SCI, for seventeen Cryogenic Frostpoint Hygrometers equipped with inlet tubes and lithium metal batteries, with an estimated value of $60,000. This procurement is exclusively justified because JH Acquisition is the sole manufacturer and distributor of this specific equipment, which is critical for the GRUAN program to produce reference-grade humidity measurements in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, where conventional instruments exhibit significant dry bias. The delivery is scheduled for Baltimore, Maryland, with final performance located in Riverdale, Maryland, and must be completed within 45 to 90 days after award. The North American Industry Classification System code is 334519, and the acquisition is set aside entirely for small businesses. The solicitation number is 145022-26-0008, posted on August 5, 2026, with responses due by August 14, 2026. While no formal contract clauses, inspection protocols, packaging standards, or invoicing procedures are specified, the equipment must meet GRUAN’s internationally recognized technical criteria for accuracy, digital transmission, water resistance, and suitability for continuous outdoor operation. Point of contact for inquiries is Barbara Shifflett at NOAA/ARL, with Gabrielle Land as a secondary contact. No competitive bidding is planned, and no pricing details, CLIN breakdowns, or contractor representations are included in the documentation beyond the acknowledgment of the vendor’s unique capability.
