About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $649,579 firm fixed-price contract to the University of Oklahoma on January 15, 2026, through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to develop standards and algorithms for supplemental radar considerations within the Radar Next Program. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, will be performed in Norman, Oklahoma, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027. This award emerges from NOAA and the National Weather Service's initiative to develop next-generation weather radar technology to replace the aging NEXRAD system, a network of 158 S-band Doppler radars that have exceeded their 20-year design life and face component obsolescence by the mid-2030s.
The University of Oklahoma's Office of Research Administration will conduct research and development work supporting NOAA's broader effort to modernize the national weather radar infrastructure. As a comprehensive research institution with extensive expertise in atmospheric sciences, geophysics, and meteorology, the university is well-positioned to contribute technical capabilities to this critical initiative. The work aligns with the Radar Next Program's phased timeline, which spans from initiation and planning through 2028, followed by design and development extending to 2032, with the ultimate goal of maintaining data continuity, improving forecast performance, and expanding radar coverage for underserved communities while leveraging emerging technologies in weather monitoring.
