- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, intends to purchase 15 each of Filter, 410.5 MHZ, BNC Male/BNC Female, K&L Microwave, Inc., P/N 4C40-410.5/T1-BP/B, NSN: 5915-01-490-6471; ASN: S100-1A6A4-FL1. The K&L Microwave Band Pass Filter P/N 4C40-410.5/T1-BP/B is specifically made to operate with the National Weather Service (NWS) Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) Narrowband Frequencies of 410.075 and 410.950MHz. The filters band pass characteristics are compatible with the ASOS communications between the ASOS Acquisition Control Unit and the Data Collection Platform. The use of another manufacturer's band pass jeopardize the communications associated with ASOS by causing Radio Interference into Federal Aviation Administration communications systems located on or near airports, typically where the ASOS is installed and operating. The use of another manufacturer's band pass filter would require extensive field testing at the Government's expense whose costs could not be recovered by the difference in competitive pricing versus sole source. The Government does not have the design rights of the manufacturer drawings for this part. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase the item by part number. This item is being purchased for the National Weather Service (NWS), to be delivered to the National Logistics Support Center, Kansas City, MO.

This is not a request for proposals and there is no solicitation available at this time. The Government reserves the right without further notice to solicit bids based on the receipt of affirmative responses to this notice or issue an order to K&L Microwave, Inc., whichever is determined to be more advantageous to the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to be considered, firms must furnish detailed information concerning their capability to provide this product.
