Indefinite Delivery Contract 1305M426D0014

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Space Sciences And Engineering LLC (doing business as Planetiq) on September 1, 2026, with a ceiling of $8 billion across the entire PROTECH 2.0 suite of domains and an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2031.

This is one of five domain-specific IDIQs under PROTECH SBEM (Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Program 2.0), covering Satellite, Oceans, Fisheries, Weather, and Space-B functional areas. The solicitation, posted April 28, 2026, sought commercial satellite-based environmental monitoring data across seven functional categories: GNSS Radio Occultation, GNSS Reflectometry, Microwave Sounders, Multispectral Imagery, Infrared Sounders, Thermospheric Neutral Density, and Active Sensors. Place of performance is Silver Spring, Maryland. Data must be delivered near-real-time to the NESDIS Common Cloud Framework in compliance with NIST SP 800-53 High baseline security controls and ISO 19115-1:2014 and ISO 19139-1:2019 metadata standards.

The IDIQ base ordering period runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2031, with one optional five-year extension through August 31, 2036. NAICS code 518210 applies. Task Order 1, with a base period running December 1, 2026 through December 1, 2028, procures GNSS Radio Occultation profiles and Total Electron Content tracks under a Firm-Fixed-Unit-Price consumption-based structure, billed monthly. Contractors must propose a minimum of 500 compliant RO profiles daily; the base CLIN permits up to 26,000 profiles daily with optional surge CLINs providing additional 10,000-profile increments.
