The Office of Naval Research awarded a $3,780 firm fixed-price purchase order to the American Meteorological Society, Inc. on August 7, 2013, for page charges with an ultimate completion date of September 11, 2013. The contract, performed in Boston, MA, was awarded without a set-aside designation. The American Meteorological Society is a prominent non-profit professional organization and the largest meteorological society globally, with over 13,000 members across academic, government, and private sector disciplines. The organization regularly provides specialized services to federal agencies including the Office of Naval Research, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and NASA, primarily focused on scientific publication support, conference planning, and research collaboration.
This purchase order reflects the typical pattern of AMS's engagement with federal agencies through firm fixed-price contracts for non-personal services, commonly ranging from $3,000 to $22,400. The page charge expense falls within AMS's broader role as a critical intermediary between scientific research and government agencies in the domains of meteorology, climatology, oceanography, and environmental sciences. The organization holds two significant Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity blanket purchase agreements with NOAA valued at $1.1 million and $150,000 respectively, demonstrating its established position as a preferred vendor for federal scientific publication and conference-related services.
