TPS Installation IDIQ Presolictation Notice

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) operates 158 Next Generation Weather Radars (NEXRAD) across the country. These radars depend on electrical power to operate. The electrical power generally comes from the commercial power grid. The power grid is susceptible to power fluctuations due to a variety of factors including weather and other customers. The current Transition Power Source (TPS) is a four wire, three phase, dual conversion, and 50KVA uninterruptible power supply that supplies clean power to the WSR-88D NEXRAD radar. The TPS also supplies the power to the radar while transitioning between utility and generator power during a power outage. The TPS also conditions power to prevent damaging NEXRAD equipment during power surges and
