Opportunity Summary

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued solicitation 1305M223RNWWG0023 for the replacement of barometers within the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS). This joint mission between the National Weather Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Department of Defense serves as the primary national network for surface-weather observations, supporting aviation operations, weather forecasting, and warning issuance. The existing SETRA 470T barometers have been in service for over 18 years and are approaching the end of their lifecycle, with the National Reconditioning Center reporting that the units are aging and increasingly unrepairable.

The scope of this requirement involves the procurement of a single system replacement Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) barometer sensor. This new hardware must be capable of providing a serial data stream to the ASOS in accordance with provided specifications to ensure continued support for Air Traffic Controllers, commercial aircraft dispatch, and Instrument Flight Rules operations. The acquisition is classified under NAICS 334519 for Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing and PSC 6660 for Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus.

Responses for this solicitation are due by August 16, 2023, at 12:00 pm EST, a deadline established via Amendment 0001 to address industry questions. Margaret Williams is the designated point of contact for this requirement. The solicitation includes four attachments: the primary solicitation document, a specifications document for the barometer, a pricing schedule, and the first 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.
