Quick Summary
The Bureau of Reclamation (Department of Interior) has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the NCAO 15 Data Collection Systems-Data Control Platforms Upgrade. The agency intends to award a purchase order to YSI Inc. to provide 15 data control platform (DCP) upgrades. This notice serves as market research to determine if other sources can meet the requirement. Responses are due March 30, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves retrofitting fifteen (15) H-522 DCPs with new YSIT GOES Satellite Radios to the H-522P-V2 specification. The contractor will provide parts, labor, special tools, and safety equipment. The vendor will receive DCPs in batches (3-4 per month) for upgrade and repair, and will be responsible for return transport costs. The delivery schedule is phased over 5 months:
- Task 1: Upgrade first 3-4 DCPs (Award Date + 1 month)
- Task 2: Upgrade next 3-4 DCPs (Award Date + 2 months)
- Task 3: Upgrade next 3-4 DCPs (Award Date + 3 months)
- Task 4: Upgrade next 3-4 DCPs (Award Date + 4 months)
- Task 5: Upgrade remaining DCPs (Award Date + 5 months)
These upgrades require replacing and installing updated radio transmitter analysis H-522 to H-522P-V2 DCPs. The existing radio transmitters can only be integrated internally with YSI-T satellite radios.

Evaluation
This is not a request for competitive quotations. The Government will consider responses solely to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. Firms capable of providing the products and services must submit written notice with sufficient evidence of their ability to meet the stated requirements.
Additional Notes
The Bureau of Reclamation believes YSI Inc. is the only vendor capable of providing the requested upgrades due to the proprietary nature of the existing radio transmitters and their internal integration with YSI-T satellite radios. Responses should include company name, address, SAM Unique Entity ID, point of contact, and capability demonstration. Email responses to Steven Teves.
