AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of Commerce, through NOAA, intends to negotiate a sole source contract with DB Control for the repair of a G-IV Aircraft Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier located at MacDill AFB, Florida. This component is critical to the Tail Doppler radar used by the National Weather Service and Hurricane Research Division for hurricane surveillance. DB Control is identified as the only viable source for these repairs because they hold the proprietary patents, copyrights, and schematics for the equipment, and possess the specialized testing tools required for troubleshooting. Failure to repair this unit, which is NOAA's only spare, could jeopardize essential research and surveillance capabilities, while a full system replacement would cost over 200,000 dollars. Although this is a sole source intent, the agency issued a sources sought notice allowing other firms five days to provide documentation proving they can perform the work. All potential contractors must be registered with the System for Award Management to be eligible for an award.

Full Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisitions Division-Kansas City office intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with DB Control, 1120 Auburn Street, Fremont, CA, for repair of a G-IV Aircraft Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) for the Aircraft Operations Center at MacDill AFB, FL. The TWTA's are installed on the high altitude research aircraft as an integral part of the Tail Doppler radar (TDR). The TDR is a research tool used for hurricane surveillance and research by the National Weather service and Hurricane Research Division. Sole Source Justification DB Control fabricates TWTA's for various aspects for laboratory and airborne work. DB Control holds copyrights and patents for the design and fabrication of the TWTA's installed on the G-IV aircraft. The TWTA schematic is proprietary and needed for troubleshooting of the amplifier. DB Control possesses specialized test equipment to troubleshoot and repair these units. DB Control remains the sole owner of all intellectual property of all DB control products and processes. Replacement costs for a complete system would be well in excess of $200,000.00. This is NOAA's only spare and failure to repair it could jeopardize NOAA's research and surveillance abilities during hurricane season. Sources Sought This sources sought notice is not a request for competitive offers and no solicitation package is available.
