The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded a $160,000.00 firm-fixed-price purchase order contract to Meteomatics AG, doing business as Meteomatics LTD, for the delivery of a Meteomatics Meteodrone MM-670M unmanned aircraft system (UAS). This sole-source contract was awarded based on NOAA's requirement for a UAS that can ascend to 6 kilometers, operate in icing conditions with heated propellers, and deploy a parachute for safety, which Meteomatics is the only vendor able to provide. The Meteodrone UAS will be used for NOAA's fire weather monitoring projects, providing hyperlocal weather data to support forecasting and assessing wildfire risk. This contract does not have a set-aside designation.
