Opportunity Summary

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued solicitation 1305M223RNWWG0023 to procure a single system replacement Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) barometer sensor. This requirement supports the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) program, a joint mission of the National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Department of Defense (DOD) that serves as the nation's primary system for surface-weather observations at airports. The new sensor will replace the aging SETRA 470T barometer, which has reached the end of its useful life cycle and is no longer repairable by the National Reconditioning Center.

The replacement barometer must be capable of providing a serial data stream to the ASOS to support critical aviation and meteorological functions, including air traffic control, commercial aircraft dispatch, Instrument Flight Rules operations, and weather forecast modeling. This equipment is essential for providing automated voice-weather reports to the flying public and the aviation community via dial-in services and Ground-to-Air Radio broadcasts. The procurement is classified under NAICS 334519, Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, and PSC 6660, Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus.

Responses to this solicitation are due by August 16, 2023, at 12:00 pm EST, a deadline established following the release of Amendment 0001, which also provided answers to formal questions. The contracting activity is managed by the Dept of Commerce NOAA, with Margaret Williams serving as the point of contact. Supporting documentation for the requirement includes a specification document, a pricing schedule, the original solicitation, and one amendment.

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.
