NOAA Mission IT Services (NMITS)

NOAA established the NMITS Master BPA on November 20, 2020, to procure information technology services, solutions, and support across all NOAA line offices, staff offices, and corporate services. The vehicle operates under a $2.1 billion shared ceiling with ordering authority extending through November 19, 2030—approximately 4 years and 4 months of remaining ordering window.

The vehicle shows declining ordering momentum. Award frequency has dropped from 16 orders in 2022 to 2 orders in 2026 year-to-date, with an average of roughly 9.6 orders per year over the past five years. Of the 50 total task orders awarded, NOAA obligated $399.9 million against a combined potential value of $863.7 million, representing 46% spend-down. The most recent task order was issued March 23, 2026.

Scope centers on enterprise IT services, application administration, cloud computing, data and voice network services, and cybersecurity. Awarded work spans help desk and ServiceNow labor, IT equipment support, IT security operations, web application development and modernization, network infrastructure, data stewardship, software development, and compliance-focused services for specific NOAA line offices including the National Weather Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Services, and National Centers for Environmental Prediction.

Competition is dominated by a single prime: Gama-1 Technologies holds 16 of 50 task orders (32% of awards) and $476.1 million of the combined potential value—roughly 55% of the total vehicle portfolio. The next four largest contractors by potential value—T And T Consulting Services, Blue Glacier Management Group, Lynker Corporation, and Teksynap Corporation—collectively hold an additional 28% of potential value. The remaining 13 primes share approximately 17% of value. Small business accounts for 72% of task orders, with the remaining 28% distributed across unrestricted and no-set-aside awards.

All orders fund NOAA objectives. Task-order ceiling values typically range from under $500 thousand for specialized support roles to over $100 million for large enterprise contracts; recent awards show ceilings spanning $477 thousand (regional fishing quota system support) to $111.5 million (applications and science common services). Pricing models include firm fixed price, time and materials, and labor-hour arrangements, with firm fixed price dominating. Multiple task orders carry performance periods extending through 2029–2031, indicating sustained engagement across multiple fiscal years.

The NMITS BPA vehicle, referred to simply as "NMITS", provides information technology (IT) services, solutions, and support. NMITS is the acquisition framework for delivering the full scope of IT services and capabilities to support NOAA-wide IT solutions for Line Offices, Staff Offices, and Corporate Services Offices. NMITS will be utilized by all NOAA Offices. NMITS allows NOAA missions the ability to procure IT tools and support in areas such as enterprise services, application administration, enterprise and cloud computing, data and voice network services, cybersecurity and information assurance
