The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Acquisition and Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division-Kansas City, plans to award a sole-source purchase order to Proton Energy Systems (Nel Hydrogen) in Wallingford, CT, for specific HOGEN parts identified by part numbers KT-0400-0189-1, 08-2303-0010, 54-0502-0247-2, and 08-2301-0015, to be delivered to the Sterling Field Support Center in Sterling, VA. This action is justified under FAR 6.103-1 because Nel Hydrogen is the exclusive manufacturer of these components, which are integral to a proprietary HOGEN test stand used for troubleshooting and simulating field-reported issues in a controlled environment. The test stand enables Tier 2 technical staff at the Upper Air Help Desk to conduct real-time diagnostics during phone support, significantly reducing downtime for critical weather observing equipment by allowing direct replication of field problems without requiring physical site visits. This pre-solicitation notice, issued under solicitation number 142082-26-0359 and posted on May 29, 2026, is not a request for competitive bids and does not constitute a formal solicitation. However, any company believing it can meet the government’s requirements may submit written substantiating documentation or requests for additional information by June 16, 2026, to allow the government to evaluate whether a competitive acquisition is feasible. The final decision to proceed without competition rests solely with the government, and no oral communications will be considered. The procurement falls under NAICS code 335999 and is managed by the Department of Commerce, NOAA, with primary point of contact Abigail Green at abigail.green@noaa.gov or 816-426-7469. The office address is in Norfolk, VA, while the delivery and use of the parts will occur in Sterling, VA.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Acquisition and Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division-Kansas City intends to negotiate and award a purchase order, on a sole source basis, under authority of RFO FAR 6.103-1, with Proton Energy Systems (Nel Hydrogen) in Wallingford, CT for various HOGEN parts (P/N KT-0400-0189-1, 08-2303-0010, 54-0502-0247-2, 08-2301-0015) to be delivered to the Sterling Field Support Center in Sterling, VA.



The sole source determination is based on NOAA’s sole source justification. Nel Hydrogen is the only manufacturer of the HOGEN parts for a testing/troubleshooting aid. This purchase allows for the Upper Air Help desk to have a troubleshooting test stand in order to better answer the questions from the field. This test stand will allow the help desk to simulate issues being seen in the field in a controlled and safe environment. In turn, the help desk will be able to help the field troubleshoot the issues quicker and minimize downtime of sites.  The HOGEN test stand and troubleshooting aid incorporates Nel/Proton components and software specific to their proprietary generators that cannot be sourced elsewhere. The test stand will be used by Tier 2 SFSC UA Help Desk technical staff supporting critical operational weather observing equipment, giving them the ability to perform real-time functions during phone calls, decreasing system downtime.

However, firms that believe they can fully meet the government’s requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing to the (Contract Specialist) within 15 days after publication of this pre-solicitation notice. Such requests and documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this pre-solicitation notice.
