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 and calibration of 50 Probe/DTT1 Transmitter Assemblies specifically for the DTS1 model, identified by ASN: S100-2MT4-3A1A1. The contract is being awarded to Vaisala, Inc., recognized as the sole source supplier due to their status as the original equipment manufacturer. Extensive market research, including searches through the Small Business Administration’s Dynamic Small Business Search and the General Services Administration’s eLibrary, failed to identify any other providers capable of performing the required service. Additionally, a sources sought notice posted publicly received no responses, further supporting the justification for a sole source award.

Roberts, who can be reached by phone or email for further information. The contract underscores the government’s reliance on the original manufacturer to ensure proper maintenance and calibration of these specialized weather monitoring components, essential for the National Weather Service’s operational accuracy and reliability.
