About this IDV
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $41,000,000 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), on January 4, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of January 3, 2027. This civilian contract employs a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no set-aside designation and establishes a framework for UCAR to deliver comprehensive atmospheric research and development services supporting NOAA's operational and research requirements. The prime contractor, UCAR, is a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities operating as a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the National Science Foundation, specializing in atmospheric research, climate modeling, weather prediction, high-performance computing, and advanced data analysis. All work is performed at UCAR's primary facility in Boulder, Colorado, and the contract encompasses a broad scope of services including climate program office support, radar operations and data quality assurance, Earth system modeling framework development, National Water Model onboarding and research and development, hurricane surge modeling and prediction, space weather forecasting, fire weather capabilities, data integration and processing center operations, and satellite data assimilation activities.
Under this IDV vehicle, NOAA has issued numerous delivery orders totaling approximately $38.5 million across multiple atmospheric science and operational weather prediction initiatives. Representative task orders include the Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Program ($6.99 million), COSMIC-2 system support ($7.00 million), National Data Processing Center services ($6.07 million), National Hurricane Center Surge support ($3.15 million), Earth System Modeling Framework development (multiple orders totaling approximately $1.29 million), National Water Model research and onboarding activities (multiple orders totaling approximately $1.25 million), Modular Ocean Model (MOM6) development ($686,000), radar operations center support (multiple orders totaling approximately $593,000), and various specialized technical support initiatives in space weather prediction, fire weather forecasting, and data quality assurance. The delivery orders employ both cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price arrangements, with performance periods extending through 2028, reflecting NOAA's sustained commitment to leveraging UCAR's specialized scientific and technical expertise in advancing the agency's weather prediction, climate modeling, and Earth system science operational capabilities.
