Weather Meteorological Support Services 2013-2018

Fleet Cyber Command awarded this Master IDIQ on April 1, 2013, to provide weather observing and forecasting services at Naval Air Stations, Outlying Landing Fields, and Auxiliary Landing Fields across the United States and Cuba in support of naval aviation operations, but the vehicle's ordering period closed on March 31, 2018, and is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle is inactive for new work. Ten task orders were issued between April 2013 and April 2018, with the most recent award in April 2018. Combined potential value across all task orders stands at $57 million, of which $34.6 million (61 percent) has been obligated. Task-order values ranged from approximately $40,000 to $8.9 million in obligation, with typical durations spanning fiscal years or multiple-year periods. Orders per year averaged 2.3 orders annually across the vehicle's life.

Atmospheric Technology Services Company LLC dominates the vehicle, holding eight of ten task orders representing $36.7 million in combined potential value. Trident Technologies, LLC and Pacific Weather Inc. each hold one order, valued at $10.2 million and $10 million respectively. Competition was structured primarily through 8(a) set-asides: five orders (50 percent) were competitive 8(a), three orders (30 percent) were 8(a) sole source, and two orders (20 percent) carried no set-aside.

Funding splits between Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic), which sponsored seven orders totaling $32.4 million in potential value, and Department of the Navy Fleet Cyber Command, which sponsored three orders totaling $24.6 million. Work was distributed across three geographic regions: Atlantic (East and Central), Gulf (Central), and Pacific (West), with no single region dominating the portfolio. Orders were priced firm fixed and typically ran through March 31 or August 31 of their final performance year.
