Purchase Order N0017313P7243

The Office of Naval Research awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $3,280 to the American Meteorological Society, Inc. (AMS) on May 15, 2013, for page charges, with an ultimate completion date of July 10, 2013. The contract was performed in Boston, MA and carried no set-aside designation. AMS, a prominent non-profit professional organization representing over 13,000 meteorologists globally, regularly provides specialized services to federal agencies including publication support, conference coordination, and scientific communication services.

This award reflects the typical scope of AMS's work with the Office of Naval Research and other defense agencies, wherein the organization supports scientific dissemination and research collaboration. AMS maintains larger blanket purchase agreements with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) valued at over $1.2 million collectively, which fund abstracts, publications, registration services, and climate reporting through 2027. The modest contract value is consistent with AMS's pattern of firm fixed-price purchase orders for specialized meteorological services, which generally range from $3,000 to $22,400 and support the federal government's investment in atmospheric and oceanographic research communication.
