About this vehicle
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded this Master IDIQ for spectrum reallocation engineering studies on February 6, 2018, with ordering authority that closed on February 4, 2020—the vehicle is now inactive and no further task orders may be placed against it. The shared ceiling was $8 million.
All 15 task orders awarded under the vehicle have been obligated in full; the combined task-order potential value totaled $6.8 million. Shared Spectrum Company dominated the competitive landscape, capturing ten orders worth $5.3 million in combined potential value. Next Phase Solutions and Services, Inc. received four orders totaling $1.5 million, and Freedom Technologies, Incorporated received one order for $10 thousand. The vehicle served only NOAA as customer; all task orders funded spectrum reallocation studies within that agency.
Ninety-three percent of orders were unrestricted; one order was designated total small business. Task orders used time-and-materials pricing except for three early presentation orders priced firm fixed price at $10 thousand each. Individual task-order ceilings ranged from $10 thousand to $2.84 million. The largest single order, valued at $2.84 million, was awarded to an unspecified vendor for Project 6 and completed November 15, 2019. Most remaining orders fell between $100 thousand and $700 thousand and supported analytical and engineering studies on specific spectrum topics, including interference analysis to GOES satellite receivers, alternative architectures for spectrum usage, RFI monitoring in designated bands, and downlink site interference assessment. Nearly all task orders by January 2020 entered closeout status, reflecting completion of the underlying spectrum reallocation initiative.
Ordering momentum declined sharply after 2018: ten orders in the first year, four in 2019, and one in 2020, signaling program wind-down.
