This notice is strictly for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposals, or any obligation by the government to award a contract. The requirement focuses on replacing the current 30-mesh stacked plate oil filtration system with a new system capable of filtering particulates down to 10 microns and effectively removing moisture from gearbox oil to reduce maintenance and improve reliability.

Any information submitted may be used by the government for planning or future solicitations. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, pricing, or delivery terms are provided at this stage, as this is a pre-solicitation market research effort. The announcement includes specific technical components to be supplied, including four two-stage oil filtration systems, twenty-four 25µm water-absorbing filter canisters, twenty-four 10µm particulate filters, one ¾ HP motor, and two pumps with integral pressure relief. The place of performance is clearly identified as Fairbanks, Alaska, and the notice remains open for responses through July 2, 2026, with no formal submission portal specified.

REQUIREMENT
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Office of Satellite Product Operations (OSPO) has a requirement for a filtration system for the 21m antenna located at the Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Station (FCDAS) in Fairbanks, AK. The current filtration system features a 30-mesh stacked plate design which cannot support drastic fluctuations in temperature while maintaining stable oil temperatures. The 30-mesh design is unable to properly remove moisture content from the oil used in the gearboxes.
This requirement will upgrade the current Filtration System to filter at a rate of IO microns, filter excess moisture from oil, and provide cleaner oil to the gearboxes to reduce equipment maintenance.
