About this vehicle
NOAA awarded this multiple-award Master IDIQ on March 27, 2023, to procure near-real-time global navigation satellite system radio occultation data and associated precision orbit determination and metadata, with ordering authority extending through March 26, 2028. The vehicle carries no set-aside designation and operates on an unrestricted competitive basis.
Ordering authority closes in approximately 20 months, leaving a narrow window for new task orders. The vehicle has reached full obligation of its $58.8 million combined potential value across eight task orders awarded from April 2023 through September 2025. Activity peaked in 2023 and 2024, with three orders per year; 2025 saw two orders before the most recent award in September. All work funds NOAA requirements; no other federal agencies place orders under this vehicle.
Two primes share the workload equally by order count: Spire Global Subsidiary, Inc. holds four orders totaling $19.9 million combined potential value, and Space Sciences And Engineering LLC holds four orders totaling $39 million. The latter dominates by dollar value, capturing roughly two-thirds of the vehicle's potential value. Both firms operate under firm fixed-price delivery orders with no-set-aside designations.
Recent task orders illustrate the scope: the September 2025 awards to Space Sciences And Engineering LLC procure 6,500 near-real-time GNSS radio occultation profiles per day ($24.3 million, completion September 2026) and 3,000 profiles per day for a 365-day period ($11.2 million, same completion date). Earlier orders similarly specified daily data deliveries by profile or track count, with completion dates aligned to annual or multi-quarter periods. Pricing is firm fixed and tied explicitly to daily data volumes and delivery durations.
The vehicle is fully obligated with no remaining ceiling capacity. New entrants or pursuit teams must wait for successor solicitation activity or seek recompete opportunities as the current IDIQ approaches its March 2028 order deadline. The narrow customer base (NOAA only) and two-player prime concentration indicate this is a specialized, data-centric procurement with limited competitive depth beyond the current awardees.
