The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a civilian federal agency, awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) to provide a variety of cloud services and technical support. The $144 million contract, awarded through SAIC's General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, has a period of performance through March 2025. Under this BPA, SAIC has received multiple task orders to deliver cloud migration, management, and professional services to support NOAA's weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and environmental research missions. Key areas of work include providing cloud infrastructure from vendors like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, delivering cloud-based data analytics and visualization solutions, and maintaining operational cloud environments for critical satellite and weather data systems.
The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations, allowing SAIC to leverage its extensive experience as a prime contractor supporting federal civilian and defense agencies. Through task orders issued under the BPA, SAIC has subcontracted with other leading IT solutions providers like Carahsoft Technology Corp to supplement its cloud service offerings. Overall, this NOAA cloud initiative aims to modernize the agency's technology capabilities and enhance its ability to process, analyze, and distribute critical environmental data and information.
