This purchase order contract was awarded by the Department of the Interior's Alaska Region to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Grants and Contracts Administration Division for $205,163 to provide operational satellite monitoring of fire. The contract is a firm fixed price agreement with a completion date of May 24, 2022. UAF, the state's flagship research university, has extensive expertise in Arctic and climate-related research and frequently collaborates with federal agencies on projects leveraging its specialized facilities and capabilities. While this contract does not have a set-aside designation, UAF often supports a broad range of federally funded research, educational, and technical activities as both a prime and subcontractor. The University of Alaska Systems, the parent entity of UAF, has also received numerous federal grants and sub-awards, particularly for disaster recovery and environmental monitoring initiatives.
