AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory intends to award a sole source purchase order to Rose Electronics Distributing Company, LLC for the procurement of 50 custom alkaline battery packs, consisting of 25 large and 25 small packs. Valued at 42,766 dollars under a firm fixed price arrangement, the contract supports TFLEX moored data buoy systems in Seattle, Washington. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 335999, with delivery expected by July 31, 2026. The sole source determination is based on the need for strict compatibility with existing systems, as these custom fabricated battery packs are engineered to specific design tolerances to ensure the functionality of surface and subsurface instrument controllers, modems, and data logging modules. While the current procurement is intended as a non-competitive award due to proprietary design requirements, the government has provided a window for other firms to submit documentation proving they can meet the specifications. The contract is currently identified as a likely recompete opportunity with a potential end date of September 4, 2026.
