AI Contract Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to award a firm fixed price contract for spare dielectric de-humidifier parts essential to the operation of the WSR-88D Severe Weather Radar system, specifically for the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, Missouri. This requirement is a brand name sole source, designated exclusively for Dielectric Communications (Radiodetection) parts due to their critical role in maintaining the functionality of the NEXRAD radar system. These components—including humidity elements, interval timers, and pressure gauges—are non-interchangeable with other brands and are vital for regulating humidity and pressure within the radar’s dehydration system to ensure continuous operation. Failure to procure these specific parts would risk system failure, disrupting weather forecasting capabilities and violating the Tri-Agency Agreement for spare parts availability. No alternative products have been deemed suitable, and qualifying a substitute would require extensive and currently unavailable funding and labor from the NWS NEXRAD Retrofit Management Team. All offers must respond to Solicitation Number 142082-26-0455 with a deadline of July 10, 2026, and are subject to a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, meaning only small business concerns are eligible. The contract falls under NAICS Code 333415 and requires full compliance with federal contracting regulations, including mandatory registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and possession of a unique entity identifier (UEI). Offers from entities not registered in SAM will not be considered. The solicitation is managed by the Department of Commerce’s Eastern Acquisition Division, with Abigail Green as the primary point of contact. Performance will occur in Grandview, Missouri, while the contracting office is located in Norfolk, Virginia. Only responses that meet the exact brand specification and qualify as small businesses under the set-aside will be evaluated for award based on best value under FAR 12.203(c)(2).

Full Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a firm fixed price contract for Spare Radiodetection Dielectric De-Humidifier Parts or the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, MO. The Government intends to make an award to the responsive responsible quoter providing the best value in accordance with FAR 12.203(c)(2). This is a brand name requirement.
Brand Name Justification:
The Dielectric Communications (Radiodection) brand is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs. Dielectric Communications products are essential components of the WSR-88D Severe Weather Radar. The Humidity Elements detect the relative humidity coming from the dehydrator tower and the Interval Timers send a command to the dehydrator tower every 30 seconds to switch between towers (this keeps the buildup of humidity relatively low) and the Pressure Gauge provides accurate output pressure management support for the radar operations. Without the Dielectric Communications spare parts, the National Weather Service (NWS) would be unable to meet its Tri-Agency Agreement to provide internal and external stakeholders with spare parts for repair and replacement. The Dielectric Communications De-Humidifier parts are paramount to ensuring the NEXRAD system remains full mission-capable. If this requirement is not solicited for the Dielectric Communications spare parts, the mission impact would be significant, as the radar system could become inoperable due to a lack of compatible repair parts. If another brand were to be considered this would require NWS qualification testing and acceptance. This process is unacceptable at current time because it would require significant funding and labor resources of the NWS NEXRAD Retrofit Management Team.
DOC, Eastern Acquisition Division requires that all contractors doing business with this office be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). No award can be made to a company not registered in SAM. Contractors active in SAM have a unique entity identifier (UEI) that is used to do business with the federal government. The Government has moved to a free new, non-proprietary identifier that will have to be requested in, and assigned by, the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). You can register and access the site by going to www.sam.gov.
