Quick Summary
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Acquisition Division-Kansas City, intends to award a sole source purchase order to ETI Acquisitions LLC for Windscreen Complete Assemblies (P/N 6282890191-1). These assemblies are required for the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, MO, to support the NWS ASOS Program. This is a pre-solicitation notice, and competitive proposals are not being requested.
Scope of Requirement
NOAA requires specific Windscreen Complete Assemblies that are form, fit, and functionally identical to the original equipment used in the NWS ASOS Program. The manufacturer, ETI Acquisitions LLC, is identified as the single source capable of providing these proprietary items. Substitution with like parts is not acceptable due to the stringent qualification testing of the original equipment. Retesting alternative items would incur significant costs, time, and potential unavailability of critical ASOS systems, which is deemed unacceptable by the government.
