About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $899,189 firm fixed-price contract to The Tomorrow Companies Inc. on January 15, 2026, to support the enhancement of the National Weather Service's radar network through evaluation of Tomorrow.io's commercial weather radar constellation. The contract, awarded under NOAA's Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Tier 1 program, runs through January 30, 2027, with work performed in Boston, Massachusetts. This award responds to NOAA and NWS's strategic initiative to develop next-generation weather radar technology capable of eventually replacing the aging NEXRAD system, which comprises 158 S-band Doppler radars that have exceeded their 20-year design life and face obsolescence risks by the mid-2030s. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
The Tomorrow Companies Inc., a recognized weather technology innovator with a strong track record of federal contracting across NOAA, NASA, and the Department of Defense, will evaluate the performance and impact of Tomorrow.io's commercial radar constellation as a potential complement or alternative to traditional government-operated radar infrastructure. This effort aligns with NOAA's broader phased modernization program (2023-2040) aimed at maintaining data continuity, improving forecast performance, expanding coverage to underserved communities, and leveraging emerging commercial capabilities in weather monitoring. The contract represents one of the anticipated 5-15 awards from the BAA, which allocated between $1-8 million total funding across selected proposals addressing innovative radar network concepts, data integration methodologies, and advanced technologies.
