The Scientific and Technical Services II (SCITECH II) is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide comprehensive scientific, technical, and management expertise across NOAA's mission domains. Originally solicited as a small business set-aside in December 2009, the contract was designed to support research, planning, assessment, development, management, and execution of NOAA's diverse scientific and operational activities. The contract has a maximum contract value of $550 million over its five-year ordering period, with task orders ranging from $3,000 to $100 million annually and anticipated to be either firm-fixed-price or time-and-materials/labor-hour contracts.

Task orders under this IDIQ cover a wide range of scientific and technical services, predominantly supporting NOAA's research, satellite, and environmental monitoring programs. Frequently winning prime contractors include Global Science & Technology Inc., Science & Technology Corporation, and other small businesses, with task order values typically ranging from approximately $50,000 to over $35 million. Common performance locations include Maryland, Virginia, Alaska, and various NOAA field stations such as the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory and locations in Florida and Texas. Most task orders are not set-aside, though some small business set-asides are used, and they frequently support areas like satellite data assimilation, fisheries research, environmental observation services, technical support for specific NOAA programs, and scientific algorithm development. Pricing mechanisms are predominantly time-and-materials, with some firm-fixed-price task orders, reflecting the varied and complex nature of the scientific support being contracted.
