About this IDV
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $9.99 million to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), with an ultimate completion date of June 26, 2026. This civilian contract, employing a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no set-aside designation, establishes a framework for UCAR to deliver atmospheric research and development services supporting NOAA's operational and research requirements. All work is performed at UCAR's primary facility in Boulder, Colorado. To date, three delivery orders totaling $7.31 million have been issued under this IDV, reflecting NOAA's sustained demand for specialized scientific services across multiple mission-critical programs.
The three active delivery orders under this contract address distinct but complementary atmospheric and climate science initiatives. The GOMO/OAP Scientific Performance Services delivery order, valued at $2.90 million with completion by September 1, 2026, supports NOAA's Global Monitoring and Observing Platform and Ocean Acidification Program operations. The Climate Program Office (CPO) and Ocean Explore Research (OER) Mission delivery order, valued at $5.07 million with completion by November 20, 2026, funds climate research and ocean exploration activities aligned with NOAA's strategic priorities. An additional Climate Program Office task order valued at $1.88 million, completing September 30, 2026, provides continued support for climate program initiatives. Collectively, these delivery orders leverage UCAR's expertise in atmospheric modeling, weather prediction, high-performance computing, and advanced data analysis to advance NOAA's capacity in climate science, ocean observation, and operational weather support services.
