The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Franchise Acquisition Services has awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Alaska Weather Operation Services Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation, to provide weather observation services and maintain automated weather stations at airports in Anchorage, Alaska. The $9,076,720.85 IDC, set aside for small businesses, has a period of performance through May 2028 and supports the FAA's Contract Weather Observing (CWO) Program. The CWO Program aims to enhance general aviation safety by providing critical weather data to pilots and air traffic control through the FAA's National Airspace System.
Two delivery orders have been issued under this IDC thus far, valued at $966,154.78 and $1,795,417.70 respectively. These firm fixed-price contracts require Alaska Weather Operation Services to furnish automated weather observation services and maintain equipment at Anchorage airports through May 2025 and May 2024. The observation data collected supports the FAA's broader mission of ensuring aviation safety in Alaska through the integration of real-time weather information into the National Airspace System.
