Opportunity Summary

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, within the Department of Commerce, is seeking a single system replacement Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) barometer sensor under solicitation number 1305M223RNWWG0023. This procurement is classified under NAICS 334519 Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing and PSC 6660 METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTS AND APPARATUS. The replacement sensor must be capable of providing a serial data stream to the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) as outlined in the specification document. Margaret Williams is the designated point of contact for this requirement.

The Automated Surface Observing System is a joint mission of the National Weather Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Department of Defense used to collect surface-weather observations at airports for aviation safety, forecasting, and weather warnings. The current SETRA 470T barometers have been fielded for over 18 years and are considered unrepairable by the National Reconditioning Center. This acquisition supports critical operations including air traffic control, commercial aircraft dispatch, and the production of weather forecast models and products for the general public and the aviation community.

The deadline for responses is August 16, 2023, at 12:00 pm EST, following an extension issued in Amendment 0001. The solicitation package consists of four attachments: the primary solicitation document, a specification document for the barometer, a pricing schedule, and Amendment 0001, which includes responses to vendor questions.

Original Description

Amendment 0001 posted July 27, 2023 to extend RFP due date to August 16, 2023 at 12:00 pm EST and provide responses to questions received for this solicitation. The Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) program is an essential, joint mission support of the National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Department of Defense (DOD). The ASOS is the nation's primary system for collecting and reporting surface-weather observations, primarily at airports, in support of aviation operations as well as weather forecasting and the timely issuance of warnings. ASOS directly supports: 1) Air Traffic Controllers rely on surface observations to provide airport weather parameters to safely support National Aerospace System (NAS) operations, 2) Surface-weather observations at airports required for dispatch of commercial aircraft, 3) Surface observations required to support Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations, 4) Surface observation data required by the Office of Operational Systems and used by the NWS to produce weather forecast models and products, 5) Supporting the aviation community and flying public by providing required dial-in services to surface-observation stations to obtain automated voice-weather reports, 6) Providing the general public with up-to-date weather conditions via a dial-up service, 7) Providing forecasters with detailed and timely surface conditions from ASOS sites around the Nation, and 8) Providing the aviation community with Ground-to-Air (GTA) Radio broadcasts of automated voice weather reports. The current SETRA 470T barometer has been fielded with the ASOS systems for over 18 years and is approaching the end of its useful life cycle. The National Reconditioning Center (NRC) oversees and repairs SETRA 470T, which is rapidly aging and deemed unrepairable . This requirement is to procure a single system replacement Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) barometer sensor capable of providing a serial data stream to the ASOS per the Specifications Document.
