Present Weather Detectors (PWDs) service

The U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground is seeking industry input through a sources-sought notice for the service and calibration of three Present Weather Detectors, Model PWD22, owned by the DPG Meteorology Branch. Vendors are requested to demonstrate their capability to evaluate, repair, replace failed or failing components, test, package, and return ship the units, with all calibration performed according to existing technical standards. Any unit deemed irreparable must be returned, and all serviced equipment must be returned in fully functioning condition with an associated warranty period. Formal service reports are required for each device, and the final delivery location is the West Desert Test Center at Dugway, Utah. Responses must be submitted to Benjamin Bass at benjamin.l.bass2.civ@army.mil by June 25, 2026, and must include evidence of the vendor’s ability to source parts, calibrate, and test the specific PWD22 model. The solicitation, identified by number PANMCC-26-P-0000-047415 under NAICS code 811210, does not specify pricing, contract value, or formal evaluation criteria as it is a market research initiative with no set-aside. The government also invites feedback on the draft Scope of Work to help shape future procurement planning. Key technical contacts include Dragan Zajic, Tyler Wieland, and Eric Nelson from the Meteorology Branch.
