ProTech 2.0 - Satellite Domain

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration established ProTech 2.0 - Satellite Domain as a multiple-award Master IDIQ on March 7, 2023, with the final date to order set for March 6, 2038, leaving approximately 11 years and 7 months of active ordering window. The vehicle is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), Exception C, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. It is part of a broader four-domain suite (Satellite, Fisheries, Oceans, Weather) carrying a combined $8 billion ceiling across all domains.

Activity has declined materially since vehicle establishment. The portfolio shows 53 total task orders awarded, with ordering momentum dropping sharply: 22 orders in 2023, 15 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 6 through April 2026. Combined potential value across all orders is $412.9 million, with $179.7 million obligated (44% of potential). The most recent award occurred on April 11, 2026, three months ago. Actual work spans professional and technical services supporting NOAA's satellite missions, observing systems, and environmental data management—including engineering and operations support for satellite programs, systems engineering, environmental monitoring (such as radio-frequency interference tracking), data stewardship, and program administration across NOAA's line and staff offices. Pricing structures vary: recent awards include firm fixed price, time and materials, and fixed price with economic price adjustment vehicles.

Competition is moderately concentrated. Data Networks, Inc. leads by combined potential value at $126.2 million across 6 orders, followed by Science & Technology Corporation at $64.3 million (5 orders) and Consolidated Safety Services Incorporated at $62.5 million (3 orders). These three firms alone hold 78% of combined potential value. Integrated Systems Solutions, Inc., with 7 orders, leads by count but ranks fourth by dollars at $36.1 million. Sixteen distinct primes are on contract.

Actual set-aside mix departs materially from the vehicle's 100% small-business set-aside status. Of 53 orders, 25 (47%) carry no set-aside, 19 (36%) are Total Small Business, 4 (8%) are Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, 4 (8%) are Woman-Owned Small Business, and 1 (2%) is Woman-Owned Small Business Sole Source. All ordering has come from a single customer: NOAA (100% of orders and potential value). Typical task-order ceilings range from under $1 million to approximately $56 million, with recent major awards including Engineering and Mission Operations Support Services VII at $56.3 million (ceiling, March 2026) and Satellite Environmental Radio Frequency Engineering at $21.2 million (ceiling, March 2025).

Professional, technical, and scientific services to support the full range of related requirements for observing system activities, including satellite missions, which NOAA manages or in which NOAA participates, and managing the space and Earth environmental data that results from those missions.
