About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a purchase order to Virginia Institute of Marine Science for $329,999.00 on October 1, 2026, for development of a three-dimensional coastal ocean foundational model at continental scale, with completion by September 30, 2027.
The award is sole-source, justified under FAR 6.103-1 based on VIMS's exclusive ownership and development of the SCHISM (Semi-Implicit Cross-Scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model) physics-based simulation engine and the 3D Surge and Tide Operational Forecast System for the Atlantic Ocean (STOFS-3D-Atlantic). Work will apply AI techniques—including Machine-Learning Empirical Orthogonal Function and Generative Forecasting Transformer methods—to SCHISM model simulations to develop the predictive model. Performance occurs at Gloucester Point, Virginia. The originating pre-solicitation was posted July 27, 2026, with a response deadline of August 11, 2026.
