About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a delivery order valued at $685,993 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), for the Modular Ocean Model, MOM6. This cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order, issued on September 1, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of October 30, 2026, supports NOAA's oceanic and atmospheric research capabilities. The work will be performed at UCAR's facility in Boulder, Colorado. This delivery order is issued under UCAR's single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with NOAA valued at $9.99 million, which provides a framework for atmospheric research and development services across NOAA's operational and research requirements through June 26, 2026.
UCAR is a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities operating as a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the National Science Foundation. As a specialized atmospheric research organization, UCAR maintains extensive experience in climate modeling, weather prediction, and high-performance computing. The Modular Ocean Model, MOM6, represents a critical component of NOAA's Earth system modeling infrastructure, supporting the agency's climate prediction, seasonal forecasting, and ocean modeling initiatives. No small business set-aside was used for this award, and UCAR's collaborative approach typically involves engagement with major research partners and subcontractors to deliver complex scientific solutions.
