This notice serves as the synopsis and notice of intent to sole-source. The Government does not possess the necessary information to service the equipment/items solicited hereunder from any source other than the OEM.
The Department of the Army, specifically AFSC PZIE, has issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to Meteorological Products Inc for the procurement of Jimsphere Weather Balloons. The requirement, managed by the 309 SWEG, entails the acquisition of Jimsphere High Resolution Wind Profilers featuring a 2-meter diameter and clear 1/2 mil polyester film. This 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 action.
Performance will take place in Nibley, Utah, under solicitation number FA822226HG0002. The government intends to negotiate with only one source because it does not possess the technical information necessary to obtain these items from any source other than the original equipment manufacturer. While this notice serves as a synopsis of the intent to sole-source rather than a request for competitive proposals, responsible sources may submit capability statements to Hans Yuri Gabriel by the response deadline of May 22, 2026.
The government will consider all responses received within eight calendar days of the notice’s May 14, 2026, publication date to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted. Approval of technical capabilities is required for any potential source; however, the government will not delay the award while source approval is pending. Documentation associated with this notice includes one redacted justification attachment.
