Raytheon Company has been awarded a firm fixed price contract valued at $4,999,940 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to conduct a Phase A study for the GeoXO Atmospheric Composition (ACX) instrument. The study is in response to NOAA's solicitation seeking proposals for a definition-phase study of the ACX instrument, which is to fly on NOAA's upcoming GeoXO series of geostationary satellites beginning with the first launch in 2035. Over a 20-month period, Raytheon will perform instrument design, analysis, reviews, reports, and risk mitigation efforts. Major subcontractors include the University of Iowa and TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research, to provide technical and engineering services. There is no set-aside designation specified for this contract awarded under NOAA's larger GeoXO program, which utilizes geostationary satellites to observe the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and weather.
