Description

Sources Sought NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Joint Polar Satellite System Cross-Track Infrared Sounder - Special Engineering Task Order Pool Increase: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) intends to issue a sole source new work modification to increase the special engineering/launch support Task Order Pool to the Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) contract, NNG10XA06C with L3Harris Technologies, Inc. CrIS is a key instrument currently flying on the Suomi NPP, NOAA-20, and JPSS-2 satellites. CrIS gathers information on greenhouse gases, primarily in the middle and upper atmosphere. Both CrIS along with ATMS provide essential atmospheric sounder information for weather forecasting. This modification will allow special engineering/launch support to continue for JPSS-2, JPSS-3 & and JPSS-4 and will increase the special engineering/launch support task order pool by 23,000 hours.

Agriculture, Department Of
The USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) intends to award a sole-source contract to Kisters North America/HyQuest Solutions for the supply of Sommer USH-9 Snow Depth Sensors. NRCS requires these sensors for hydro-meteorological data retrieval in extreme weather conditions, specifically for water supply forecasting and drought monitoring. The USH-9 sensors are the only ones on the market that meet the NRCS's specialized requirements for mission-critical operations. The scope of work involves supplying electronic components that adhere to NRCS Standards and Specifications. These sensors will be used in the SNOTEL network sites across high alpine terrains. Kisters North America/HyQuest Solutions is being awarded the contract due to the unique nature of their product, which has been identified as the only one suitable for NRCS's specific needs. The department intends to purchase several units of the Sommer USH-9 Snow Depth Sensors. This notice is not open for competitive bidding. However, if potential offerors believe they can provide a product that also meets the NRCS's specialized requirements, they are encouraged to contact the primary point of contact, David Hester, at david.hester@usda.gov, to discuss the possibility of future acquisitions. The USDA NRCS reserves the right to award the contract without further notice.
