- Description
- This Sources Sought notice is for planning purposes only and is issued in accordance with FAR 5.2 Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions provided at: https://www.acquisition.gov/far/subpart-5.2. No solicitation document exists at this time. Issuance of this notice does not constitute any obligation on the part of the Government to procure these items or services or to issue a solicitation. In addition, the Government is under no obligation to pay for information submitted in response to this Source Sought notice, and responses to this notice cannot be accepted as offers. Any information that the vendor considers proprietary should be clearly marked as such. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS), and Radar Operations Center (ROC), located in Norman, OK is conducting market research seeking information regarding capabilities for an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contact (IDIQ) to replace the Transition Power Source (TPS) for the NEXRAD due to obsolescence. NOAA operates 158 Next Generation Weather Radars (NEXRAD) across the country. These radars depend on electrical power to operate. The electrical power generally comes from the commercial power grid. The power grid is susceptible to power fluctuations due to a variety of factors including weather and other customers. The current TPS is a four wire, three phase, dual conversion, and 50KVA uninterruptible power supply that supplies clean power to the WSR-88D NEXRAD radar. The TPS also supplies the power to the radar while transitioning between utility and generator power during a power outage. The TPS also conditions power to prevent damaging NEXRAD equipment during power surges and brownouts. The TPS is composed of three different parts: the UPS, the battery cabinet, and the maintenance bypass switch. The NEXRAD has two different versions of the TPS. One version has a maintenance bypass switch on the wall and the other has the maintenance bypass switch as a �side car� attached to the UPS. The current TPS uses a Supervisory Contact Module (SCM) that interfaces the UPS to the building alarms. These alarms include hydrogen detection, 80 degree Fahrenheit, and a 90 degree Fahrenheit temperature signal. The NWS is seeking vendor capabilities for a potential 5 year IDIQ that would involve replacing and installing TPS at approximately 158 sites. Capability statements shall clearly show an understanding and compliance with the attachment Statement of Need (SON), including but not limited to, certifications to install Eaton products.
