Request For Information (RFI) 2525H074 Alaska Non-Federal Automated Weather Observation Systems

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather input from qualified vendors capable of providing, installing, maintaining, and supporting non-federal Automated Weather Observation Systems (AWOS) across Alaska. This RFI is intended solely for planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee future procurement. The collected information will help shape a subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP), which will focus on the procurement and deployment of FAA-eligible, non-federal AWOS stations. The project may include pilot programs to evaluate system performance under Alaskan conditions before full deployment. Interested vendors are required to submit their responses electronically to the designated Procurement Officer, Chris Hunt, by April 1, 2025, at 4:00 pm Alaska Time. The anticipated contract size ranges from five to fifteen million dollars, reflecting the scope of potential system deployment. The RFI process aims to inform the department’s planning efforts for establishing reliable weather observation infrastructure in remote and challenging Alaskan environments. The response process is managed by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, and detailed information about the solicitation can be accessed through the provided online link.
