Background:

The Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) program is an essential, joint mission support of the National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Department of Defense (DOD).  The ASOS is the nation's primary system for collecting and reporting surface-weather observations, primarily at airports, in support of aviation operations as well as weather forecasting and the timely issuance of warnings. There are approximately 960 ASOS sites globally.

The NOAA NWS is upgrading its temperature and relative humidity (TRH) sensor on all fielded ASOS units globally using the Vaisala Dual Probe, HMP-155 model. The design incorporates one aspirated and one non-aspirated radiation shield and as many as two aspirated and two non-aspirated radiation shields. The contractor must provide a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Aspirated and non-aspirated radiation shield that accommodates the Dual Probe HMP-155.
