repair of 3 each ROTARY JOINT,ALZIMUTH, 4 CHANNEL, DIAMOND ANTENNA & MICROWAVE PN: BS-2000-110-000, ASN: R400-2A1A3A9

The U.S. Department of Commerce, through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service, is issuing a purchase order for the repair of three azimuth rotary joints, specifically 4-channel units manufactured by Diamond Antenna and Microwave Corporation. This contract is awarded on a sole source basis because Diamond Antenna and Microwave is the original equipment manufacturer and the only known source capable of providing the required repair services. Extensive market research, including searches through the Small Business Administration’s databases and the GSA eLibrary, confirmed no other small businesses or contractors are available to perform this repair. The procurement concerns part number BS-2000-110-000 with ASN R400-2A1A3A9 and is designated under NAICS code 334419. The effort is coordinated by the NOAA National Reconditioning Center located in Norfolk, Virginia. The sole point of contact for this contract is Adrian M. Hall, reachable via email and phone. The limited competition resulted from the highly specialized nature of the equipment, necessitating assignment of the repair to the original equipment manufacturer to ensure quality and compatibility with the existing hardware.
