## Description

Notice of Intent to Sole Source X Band LNA REQUIREMENTS-25-2257 Notice Type Special Notice Description The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS), Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Stations (WCDAS) requires replacement X Band Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) for the LEO 14.2 M antenna system located in Wallops, VA.

NOAA intends to award to Narda-MITEQ on a sole source basis as Narda-MITEQ is the only entity capable of providing the X Band LNA with the required specifications, support, and integration features needed and unavailable with other products that are available through other manufacturers. The antenna ground system currently uses an antenna control system which was designed and installed by Narda-MITEQ X Band LNAs. The X Band LNAs must meet stringent RF parameters for the antenna to meet acceptance tests.

To ensure quality assurance of the RF path and reception of spacecraft data, replacement X Band LNAs must meet the function, specifications, footprint, power, and operation of the original units. All responsible sources may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified points of contact. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.

Capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
