Task Order GD139ROC8A, titled Mission Support Information Technology (IT) Services (MSITS) Special Project 58, was awarded to Centuria Corporation by the General Services Administration's Its/ Netwrk Svcs Contract Opns DIV1. This specific action involves a sole source modification under an exception to fair opportunity, authorized by FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), to acquire highly specialized equipment and software for the NOAA Radar Operations Center. Centuria is tasked with managing the procurement of these critical components, which include the design and manufacture of 15 LRIP Signal Processor Interface Panels using Vaisala Corporation's proprietary design and the acquisition of brand-name Quartus II Developmental Software Licenses for Altera firmware devices used in the WSR-88D Signal Processor. The financial scope of these modifications includes an estimated value of 194,438.25 dollars for the interface panels and 7,199.70 dollars for the software licenses, with the software performance period spanning from July 1, 2014, to July 31, 2015. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 541330 and was managed by Contracting Officer Rose M. Dominguez and Project Manager Dale Shogren. These acquisitions are justified as sole source due to the unique, proprietary, and highly specialized nature of the hardware and software required for the National Weather Service's radar operations.
