AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proceeding with a sole-source, firm-fixed price purchase order under FAR 12.102(a) and 41 U.S.C. 1901 to renew annual maintenance support for two Spectra T120 tape libraries equipped with LTO-7 drives, located at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla and Santa Cruz, California. The contract is intended exclusively for Spectra Logic Corporation, the original equipment manufacturer, due to the proprietary nature of the hardware and the critical role it plays in NOAA’s continuity of operations and disaster recovery infrastructure, safeguarding over 400 TB of mission-critical scientific data from loss caused by hardware failure, software issues, or emergencies. The required service, identified by code 90950500R as SpectraGuard Next Business Day On-Site Support, mandates that all maintenance and repair activities be performed on-site by Spectra Logic personnel within one business day of service request, with no substitutions or third-party alternatives permitted. The acquisition is structured as a single-year, 12-month support period with an anticipated award date of June 1, 2026, and no option periods or extended term provisions are included. The presolicitation notice opens a limited window for public comment until June 3, 2026, during which interested parties may submit substantiating documentation or requests for additional information solely via email to the designated Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer in Seattle, Washington; however, oral communications are explicitly prohibited and any feedback will be assessed only to determine whether competition is warranted, with the final decision on sole-source award resting entirely within the government’s discretion. No formal evaluation factors beyond OEM exclusivity are defined, and no pricing, total contract value, payment details, invoicing methods, or specific contractual clauses are disclosed in the documentation. The place of performance is strictly limited to the two coastal California laboratories where the tape libraries are installed, and while the contracting office resides in Seattle, delivery and service are rendered on-site exclusively at the NOAA research facilities. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334112, and while the government identifies no required representations, certifications, or administrative details such as a Contracting Officer’s Representative or accounting codes, the entire structure underscores a high-priority operational necessity to preserve data integrity and disaster recovery resilience through OEM-authorized support.
