Purchase Order N0017314P7245

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $4,290 firm fixed-price purchase order to the American Meteorological Society, Inc. (AMS) on May 29, 2014, with an ultimate completion date of July 3, 2014. This contract, which utilized no set-aside designation, represents a publication-related procurement from the prominent non-profit professional organization. AMS, the largest professional society of meteorologists globally with over 13,000 members, serves as a critical intermediary between scientific research and federal agencies in the domains of meteorology, climatology, oceanography, and environmental sciences. The organization is registered in SAM.gov and has maintained a long-standing relationship with defense and civilian agencies including the Office of Naval Research, NOAA, and NASA.

This purchase order aligns with AMS's established service offerings to federal agencies, which have historically focused on non-personal services including article publication charges, conference registration fees, and research article submissions. The contract size and structure are consistent with AMS's typical federal engagements, which predominantly comprise firm fixed-price purchase orders ranging from approximately $3,000 to $22,400. The Boston, Massachusetts-based performance location reflects AMS's operational headquarters, and this award exemplifies the organization's ongoing contributions to scientific communication and knowledge dissemination in support of federal research and policy objectives.
