This award carries no set-aside designation.

Place of performance is Silver Spring, Maryland. The IDIQ solicitation, posted April 28, 2026, seeks 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. All 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. Contractors must provide technical documentation, calibration support, and 24/7 points of contact for operational task orders. NAICS 518210 applies.

The base ordering period runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2031, with one optional five-year extension through August 31, 2036. Task Order 1, effective December 1, 2026 through December 1, 2028, procures GNSS Radio Occultation profiles and Total Electron Content tracks on a Firm-Fixed-Unit-Price consumption-based model, with pricing tiered across five license options governing distribution rights. Contractors must propose a minimum of 500 compliant profiles daily; the base CLIN allows up to 26,000 profiles daily, with optional surge CLINs providing additional 10,000-profile increments.
