View moreThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Earth System Research Laboratory, Global Monitoring Division, intends to negotiate a sole-source Blanket Purchase Agreement with Kalscott Engineering Inc. for air sampling flights over Oklahoma. This requirement involves conducting flights for atmospheric trace gas measurements to maintain a long-term measurement time series. The anticipated performance period is five years from the date of award. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 541990, All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, and PSC code R.
The rationale for the sole-source determination under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) is based on the vendor’s existing equipment and demonstrated capability to meet specific technical requirements. Kalscott Engineering Inc. has previously modified aircraft and secured necessary Federal Aviation Administration approvals to operate Global Monitoring Division instrumentation. NOAA requires this specific technical competence and attention to detail to ensure the quality and consistency of the data record, as introducing new vendors could jeopardize the measurement series.
This special notice, issued under solicitation number NRMJ1000-18-00335CM2, is not a request for competitive proposals. Firms that believe they can meet these requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to Casey McLean by the response deadline of January 3, 2018. The government will evaluate such documentation solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis, a decision that remains within the government's discretion. No solicitation package is available, and oral communications are not accepted.
