Purchase Order N0017313P1426

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $3,790 firm fixed-price purchase order to the American Meteorological Society, Inc. on June 12, 2013, with completion targeted for June 28, 2013. This contract was not subject to any set-aside designation. The American Meteorological Society, a non-profit professional organization representing over 13,000 members globally, serves as a critical intermediary between scientific research and federal agencies in the domains of meteorology, climatology, oceanography, and environmental sciences. Based on the Society's historical federal contracting patterns, this purchase order likely supported specialized services such as conference registration, publication charges, or research article submissions aligned with naval research priorities.

This award represents a typical engagement between the Office of Naval Research and the American Meteorological Society, consistent with the organization's established role as a service provider to defense and civilian federal agencies. The Society maintains significant Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicles with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration valued at over $1.2 million collectively, reflecting the strategic importance of meteorological and atmospheric science support across multiple federal agencies. The firm fixed-price structure and modest contract value indicate focused, short-duration procurement of specialized scientific services that leverage the Society's extensive expertise and member network.
