AI Contract Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to award a firm, fixed-price, total small business set-aside contract for five Columbia 4AFM Electric Davit Cranes (Part Number 2A20858R0) to replenish stock at the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, Missouri. This is a strict brand-name requirement, with vendors required to be verified resellers of ALLIED POWER PRODUCTS, INC., as alternative products cannot meet the critical performance, form, fit, and function needs of the NEXRAD WSR-88D Severe Weather Radar systems. The crane is essential for maintenance of radar antenna pedestals up to 30 meters high and capable of lifting 400 pounds, and any delay or substitution would risk operational downtime with potential consequences to data integrity, property, and public safety. The solicitation is issued under NAICS code 333923 with a 1,250-employee size standard, and only small business concerns can compete. All offerors must have an active Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) registered in SAM.gov, which is mandatory for award. Proposals must comply with detailed packaging, marking, and labeling requirements per MIL-STD-129M and MIL-STD-1189B, including correct NSN, CAGE code, barcoding, and shelf-life information. Items must be shipped FOB destination to the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, MO, using 44” x 44” pallets, shrink-wrapped and double-strapped, with waterproof packing slips secured in MIL PPP-E540, Class 1 envelopes. Offers must include proof of authorized reseller status, two past performance references demonstrating quality, timeliness, and customer satisfaction, and complete representations and certifications via SAM.gov, including small business status and any socioeconomic certifications. The award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, with technical acceptability in specifications and past performance being gatekeeper criteria before price is evaluated. Invoicing must be submitted through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), not WAWF, and all submissions must be electronic, sent via email to nikki.smith@noaa.gov by the July 31, 2026, deadline. No faxed or paper submissions will be accepted, and failure to respond to all requirements in the Instructions to Offerors will result in non-compliance and

Full Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a Total Small Business set-aside, firm, fixed price contract for five (5) COLUMBIA 4AFM Electric Davit Cranes (P/N: 2A20858R0) as replenishment stock for the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, MO.
This is a Brand Name Requirement. Vendors must be a verified reseller of ALLIED POWER PRODUCTS, INC.
Brand Name Justification:
This particular brand name is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs. The NEXRAD Program requires the Columbia 4AFM Davit Crane, P/N 2A20858R0 as a spare part critical to repairs for the WSR-88D Severe Weather Radar systems. A "Brand Name or Equal" cannot be utilized as the government would incur significant harm through the excessive costs associated not only through the time and labor of testing another unit, but also through the lengthy delays that additional testing would cause if another unit is selected. NEXRAD Severe Weather Radar systems would be unavailable during this period and could have serious impact to data, property and life.
The required supplies must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems and equipment, and the source is uniquely qualified to meet the requirement. The Columbia 4AFM Davit Crane, P/N 2A20858R0, is a critical component for the maintenance of the radar antenna pedestal, which can be as high as 30 meters and lifting up to 400 lbs. The integrity and performance of the Columbia 4AFM Davit Crane is therefore paramount to the continuous and accurate maintenance and repair of the WSR-88D Radar System.
The Government intends to make an award to the responsive responsible quoter providing the best value in accordance with FAR 12.203(c)(2). 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.
Please see Instructions to Offerors and full Solicitation as attached.
**Contractors who do not respond to all requirements included in the "Instructions to Offerors" may be considered non-compliant with the requirements of the solicitation and no further consideration shall be given for award.
