Purchase Order N0017315P3109

The U.S. Office of Naval Research awarded a $2,830 firm fixed-price purchase order to the American Meteorological Society, Inc. on June 30, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2015. This contract, which was not subject to any small business set-aside designation, represents a non-personal services procurement typical of AMS's engagement with federal agencies. The American Meteorological Society, a prominent nonprofit professional organization with over 13,000 members, regularly provides specialized services to defense and civilian agencies, including the Office of Naval Research, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and NASA, primarily focused on scientific publication, conference support, and research dissemination in meteorological and atmospheric sciences.

This purchase order aligns with AMS's established service portfolio to federal agencies, which historically encompasses article publication charges, conference registration support, research article submissions, and specialized scientific reporting. The contract value and short performance timeline are consistent with AMS's typical transaction patterns under firm fixed-price arrangements and blanket purchase agreements. The organization's dual Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicles with NOAA—a $1.1 million Blanket Purchase Agreement and a $150,000 climate reporting agreement—demonstrate the breadth of AMS's federal contracting relationships and its critical role in supporting scientific communication and knowledge dissemination across federal atmospheric science and oceanographic research programs.
