The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a sole-source purchase order to InterMet Systems for the procurement of flight train regulators, specifically part number 900316. These components support the National Weather Service (NWS) Upper Air Program by enabling the collection of atmospheric sounding data, which fulfills data sharing agreements with the World Meteorological Organization. The regulators are essential for maintaining data integrity during high-wind conditions exceeding 25 mph. Performance will take place at the National Logistic Support Center in Grandview, Missouri, under solicitation number 142082-26-0061.
The acquisition is classified under NAICS 334519, Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, and PSC 6660, Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus. There is no set-aside designated for this requirement (NONE). InterMet Systems is the only known source capable of providing equipment compatible with existing NWS systems that meets established qualification standards. Procuring an alternative product would require significant funding and labor for testing and acceptance by the Sterling Field Support Center, which is currently prioritized for evaluating new data acquisition systems.
This pre-solicitation notice was published on April 13, 2026, with a response deadline of April 28, 2026. While the agency intends to negotiate a sole-source award, firms believing they can meet the requirements may submit substantiating documentation to the point of contact, Tyran Claypool. The government will use these responses to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement or maintain the sole-source justification.
