Tender Details

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a firm fixed price contract as a 100% small business set-aside for CIAO Wireless Amplifiers (P/N: CA24-456) for the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, MO.

These amplifiers are indispensable for the generator's operation, as they are responsible for amplifying either the Radio Frequency (RF) signal or the STALO (Stable Local Oscillator) signal. Both of these signals are fundamen...
