NOAA Big Data Project

NOAA awarded this Master IDIQ on September 19, 2019, with a last date to order of September 19, 2021—ordering closed nearly five years ago and the vehicle is no longer active.

The vehicle carries a combined potential value of $500 across two task orders, both awarded on the same day to Microsoft Corporation and Suitebriar, Inc. One order, issued to Microsoft, obligated $250 with a ceiling of $250. The second order, to Suitebriar, carried a $250 minimum guarantee and ceiling with $0 obligated. Both orders were firm fixed price, unrestricted, and carried ultimate completion dates of September 19, 2021. The named scope—"minimum order balance for big data program"—provides minimal insight into the actual work contracted; the task-order descriptions do not articulate substantive technical or operational content. All ordering activity occurred in 2019, and no task orders have been issued since. NOAA is the sole customer served under the vehicle.

The vehicle is not a current pursuit opportunity. The ordering period closed in 2021, no new work has been placed in over six years, and the vehicle has reached the end of its contractual life. Contractors holding positions on the vehicle cannot pursue new orders; the vehicle is closed to all new tasking. Any work with NOAA in the big data domain would require pursuit under a successor vehicle or a newly competed IDIQ.
