About this award

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a BPA call to Science Applications International Corporation under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule on July 1, 2024, for high-performance computing software development and technical services supporting NOAA's Research and Development HPC Services (RDHPCS), with a ceiling of $14.136 million and an ultimate completion date of September 7, 2026. The call is priced on a time-and-materials basis and is located in Princeton, New Jersey.

Work supports development of NOAA's next-generation global atmospheric model AM5, focused on realistic representation of weather and climate phenomena to improve sub-seasonal to centennial predictions and projections. Northwest Research Associates serves as a subcontractor, developing gravity wave parameterization schemes, providing implementation and tuning support, collaborating on performance evaluation, and supporting peer-reviewed publication of scientific findings.

In FY2025, the call invoiced $5.7 million across 33.2 FTEs and 68,995 contractor hours, reflecting a derived government-paid rate of $83.03 per hour. Subcontractors performed approximately 1% of contractor hours in FY2025. The call's labor costs rose year-over-year from $60.66 per hour in FY2024.
