About this IDV

The University of Oklahoma has been awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with a ceiling value of $10.0 million and an ultimate completion date of February 19, 2031. This contract vehicle supports research and development services in conjunction with NOAA's Radar Next Program, which represents the agency's modernization initiative for the nation's weather radar infrastructure. The contract was awarded without set-aside provisions through open competition. As a civilian agency award to a state-controlled institution of higher learning, this engagement leverages the University of Oklahoma's established expertise in atmospheric sciences, meteorology, and radar technology development to advance NOAA's operational capabilities.

The specific deliverables under this IDV include research and development services, algorithm development, technical standards, and supporting analysis to advance radar technology and operational procedures within the Radar Next Program framework. The University of Oklahoma's Office of Research Administration will execute task orders against this contract vehicle as NOAA's requirements materialize throughout the performance period. The institution's prior contract history with NOAA demonstrates its capacity to deliver specialized radar-related research, including a completed award valued at $649,579 for developing standards and algorithms for supplemental radar considerations. The indefinite delivery structure provides NOAA with flexibility to issue task orders based on evolving program needs while maintaining a committed prime contractor relationship with an institution possessing deep technical competency in the required scientific and engineering disciplines.
