NOAA: Gearbox repair kits as replenishment spares for NEXRAD maintenance at the National Logistics Support Center (NLSC) in Grandview, MO.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to negotiate and award a purchase order for Gearbox repair kits as replenishment spares for NEXRAD maintenance at the National Logistics Support Center (NLSC) in Grandview, MO. The sole source determination is based on NOAA's Sole Source Justification, which states that the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Peerless-Winsmith, Inc., is the sole source capable of delivering the identified K1 and K2 Gearbox Kits. • The OEM has a proprietary product that meets the qualification standards of the NWS. • The vendor has past performance of part numbers 651229-124 and 651229-41. • The vendor is the only company qualified to assemble the K1 and K2 Gearbox Kits. • Other companies would require NWS qualification testing and acceptance, which would require significant funding and labor resources.
