The U.S. Department of Commerce/NOAA’s Western Acquisition Division intends to award a sole-source purchase order to BeadedStream for the procurement of iGage Automated River Gages under NAICS code 334513, as no other vendor can meet the specific technical requirements. The gages are needed to replace aging automated river sensors in the National Weather Service’s Alaska Region, with the new units required to be self-contained, weighing less than 10 pounds, and integrating a river stage sensor, battery, solar power supply, and Iridium SBD satellite telemetry compatible with the existing NWS communication infrastructure. The sensors must achieve a measurement range of 30 meters with an accuracy of 0.01 feet and meet USGS accuracy standards, transmitting data directly into the NWS Alaska Region systems. Delivery is scheduled within 60 days of award, and no set-aside provisions will apply. This procurement is conducted without competitive solicitation due to the unique capabilities of BeadedStream, though responses from other firms may be submitted within ten days of notice publication to challenge the sole-source determination. All inquiries must be submitted in writing to Kirsten Keen at NOAA, and oral communications will not be considered.
