6670--Gravimetric Scales
Solicitation # 36C26227Q0058
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the NCO 22 Gilbert Network Contracting office, has issued a Sources Sought Notice and Request for Information to identify qualified sources for a gravimetric scale solution at the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System in California. This is not a formal solicitation but a planning effort to gather market research and determine the availability of capable vendors under NAICS code 334519, which has a size standard of 600 employees. The government is seeking a solution for a base period plus four option years that must fully integrate with the existing BD Pyxis IV Prep workflow platform for sterile compounding documentation, ingredient verification, and quality assurance without requiring the replacement of the current system. The required solution must support direct transmission of weight measurements to the BD Pyxis IV Prep application, maintain existing electronic audit trails, and provide real-time alerts for ingredient weight variances. The selected vendor will be responsible for installation, operational verification, and ongoing technical support. Interested respondents must provide a detailed capabilities statement, business size status, and information regarding FDA clearance, Buy American Act compliance, and lead times. Responses, including optional general pricing for market research, must be submitted via email to the contracting officer by October 29, 2026, at 15:00 Pacific Local Time.

AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of Atmospheric Research (OAR), Chemical Sciences Lab (CSL) DESCRIPTION This is a Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a request for quotes or proposals. This notice is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. The Government will not pay for any information submitted in response to this Sources Sought notice. NOAA CSL is seeking to identify potential sources capable of providing 10 small optical particle spectrometers (Portable Optical Particle Spectrometer (POPS)) for the measurement of stratospheric aerosol size distributions using balloon sondes. SCOPE OR MISSION The instruments are needed for an ongoing project involving the systematic measurement of stratospheric aerosol number and size distributions. These measurements will be conducted using small (weather) balloon sondes launched from Boulder, CO and other global sites, to characterize the baseline and variability of stratospheric aerosol microphysical properties. This project is a key component of the congressionally funded NOAA OAR Earth Radiation Budget initiative. BACKGROUND Stratospheric aerosol is a critical component of the climate system. Improved observations of stratospheric aerosol microphysics and variability are necessary to enhance model representation of climate and ozone chemistry impacts resulting from changes in stratospheric aerosol. Furthermore, in situ observations are essential for validating and improving the interpretation of satellite remote sensing observations. These measurements necessitate a miniaturized, research-quality instrument capable of detecting particles with diameters as small as 140 nm to accurately characterize the stratospheric aerosol size distribution. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Operational requirements for the optical particle spectrometer (OPC) instruments include: Instrument Weight: < 1 kg Size: Smaller than 8" x 8" x 6" Power Consumption: < 6 W Minimum Particle Diameter Detection Limit: ? 140 nm Performance: Demonstrated performance at high altitude/low pressure. DELIVERY SCHEDULE NOAA CSL requires delivery of all 10 instruments by Sep 26, 2025. Partial deliveries following acceptance of the order are requested if permitted by production schedules. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Interested parties are requested to submit a brief capabilities statement (no more than 3 pages) demonstrating their ability to meet the requirements outlined in this notice. Submissions should include: Company name, address, and primary point of contact information. A brief description of relevant experience and past performance in producing similar optical particle spectrometers. Confirmation of ability to meet the technical specifications. Anticipated lead time for production and delivery of 10 units. Any questions regarding this Sources Sought notice. Please submit all responses electronically to Elliott Waxman (elliott.waxman@noaa.gov) by Aug 8, 2025. This Sources Sought notice is for market research purposes only and does not commit the Government to award a contract. All information submitted will be used for planning purposes only.

NOAAPort Replacement Capabilities
Solicitation # 142083-27-0002
The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Weather Service (NWS) have issued Request for Information (RFI) No. 142083-27-0002 to conduct market research for the replacement of the legacy NOAAPort Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN). The government is seeking information on innovative, high-reliability distribution capabilities—which could be cloud-based, terrestrial, satellite, or hybrid—to deliver mission-critical weather data to a geographically dispersed user community. The replacement system must support the exchange, ingestion, processing, and distribution of data products and must integrate with the NWS Hydrometeorological Interactive Virtual Environment (HIVE) and the Centralized Integrated Real-Time Repository for Unified Services (CIRRUS) using common internet protocols such as APIs and MQTT. This notice is for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation for award; no funds have been authorized or appropriated for this effort at this time. The NWS intends to deactivate the legacy SBN as early as August 31, 2027, and is requesting industry feedback on technical architectures, cloud migration strategies, security protocols, and rough order of magnitude cost estimates. Interested respondents must submit their responses in Microsoft Word or PDF format to the designated points of contact by October 29, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The government is utilizing this RFI to inform its acquisition strategy and evaluate potential small business set-aside opportunities under NAICS code 541512.
