The U.S. Space and Missile Systems Center, a defense agency within the Department of Defense, awarded a $697,524 definitive contract to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (NWRA) on October 2, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of January 2, 2026. The contract, structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement, supports NWRA's performance of work at its facility in Monterey, California. NWRA, a for-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Seattle, Washington, specializes in geophysical and space sciences and has an established track record of delivering advanced research and modeling services to federal defense and civilian agencies. The contract deliverables focus on ionospheric modeling and land scattering analysis, specifically requiring NWRA to develop a land scatter model based on global mapping data rather than constant values, create a high-frequency relevant vegetation model, and produce an electric permittivity map derived from global salinity and rainfall data. These outputs will contribute to understanding ionospheric effects and support the Space and Missile Systems Center's space science and communications objectives. The award was not designated under any small business set-aside program, and NWRA performed the work as a prime contractor without identified subcontractors on this engagement.
