Description
This Sources Sought notice seeks market research for an indefinite‑delivery‑indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide inspection, engineering evaluation, repair, and related engineering services for the WSR‑88D (S38‑90) radomes protecting NEXRAD weather radars across the United States and selected overseas sites. The government will not supply radome parts except for two complete kits stored in a CONEX container; all repair parts must be procured OEM from CPI ESSCO. Contractors must be able to respond within 24 hours to catastrophic failures, complete full radome replacements within 16 calendar days, and submit detailed engineering reports within 30 days of task completion. The effort spans a potential five‑year period covering roughly 160 radar sites, requiring nationwide travel, logistics for CONEX management, and strict adherence to FAR clauses and safety plans.
• Perform comprehensive radome inspections and deliver engineering evaluation reports (CDRL A002).
• Execute radome repairs, replacements, and painting per OEM specifications, meeting a ≤16‑day downtime limit (CDRL A001).
• Procure, manage, and supply only OEM parts; maintain inventory of two radome kits in a 40‑ft CONEX container.
• Provide engineering data updates, change proposals, and monthly CONEX inventory reports.
• Meet stringent response times (24 hr emergency, 7‑day site‑access notice) and quality metrics (≤2 errors per report, 99 % on‑time submissions).
