About this file
This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Station (FCDAS) Operations and Maintenance Services issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Solicitation number 1332KP26R0041 is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for services at FCDAS, a National Critical Asset designated as Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) facility that must operate 24/7/365. The facility serves as NOAA's primary command and data acquisition station for polar-orbiting operational environmental satellites, averaging approximately 135 satellite contacts daily. This is a performance-based service contract where the contractor's success depends on technical requirement satisfaction and responsiveness to evolving operational requirements and technology changes. The solicitation is set-aside for 100 percent small business concerns.
The proposal submission deadline is 2:00 PM Eastern Time on November 9, 2026. The base period of performance runs from June 1, 2027 through May 31, 2028, with four option periods extending through May 31, 2032. Non-incumbent offerors must propose pricing for a one-month transition phase (May 1–31, 2027). The contract is a hybrid Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and Time & Material (T&M) arrangement with multiple Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) covering FCDAS operations, skilled trades, information technology, site support, security, operations, other direct costs, and government-directed overtime. The Government will conduct a best-value evaluation based on three non-price factors—Technical Approach, Management Approach, and Past Performance—in descending order of importance, along with Price. Offerors must hold an active Facility Clearance at the Secret level by the solicitation closing date. Questions must be submitted by October 23, 2026, and oral presentation time slot requests must be submitted by October 21, 2026. Offerors are required to provide past performance references for no more than three recent and relevant contracts, with Past Performance Questionnaires to be submitted directly to the Government by the proposal deadline.

COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR
1332KP26R0041 for Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Station
Operations and Maintenance Services
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with RFO Part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation.
Offers are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.
Solicitation number 1332KP26R0041 is issued as a request for proposal (RFP) for Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Station (FCDAS) for Operations and Maintenance Services.
FCDAS is a National Critical Asset and, therefore, must remain in operation 24x7x365, including periods of inclement weather and emergencies such as natural and man-made disasters.
Mission-essential functions must be maintained at all times, provided no serious hazards to personnel exist. Historically, FCDAS has been a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) facility. This is a performance-based service contract, wherein the success of the O&M contractor depends on satisfaction of the technical requirements as well as responsiveness to continually evolving operational requirements and changes in technology.
FCDAS is NOAA’s primary command and data acquisition facility for its polar-orbiting operational environmental satellites. The station also collaborates with other Government and international partners to provide routine and contingency support for non-NOAA polar-orbiting spacecraft. Each day, the station averages approximately 135 satellite contacts.
This acquisition is set-aside for 100% small business concerns. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference. The full text of provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at www.acquisition.gov.
The Government’s points of contact for this requirement are Andrea Chiodi, Contract Specialist at andrea.chiodi@noaa.gov and Jame Chang, Contracting Officer at jame.chang@noaa.gov.
The Offeror’s Proposal shall be submitted no later than: 2:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) Monday, November 9, 2026.
It is the Offeror’s responsibility to bring to the Government’s attention any perceived ambiguities, discrepancies, or inconsistencies within the solicitation package (i.e. this document, attachments, and any document incorporated by reference). This notification, as well as any request for deviation of any term or condition provided herein, and questions concerning this RFP, shall be submitted no later than: 3:00 PM ET on Friday, October 23, 2026 to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer via email and shall reference the RFP number and the applicable attachment and/or section in question.
Attachment J-12, Questions and Comments Template. Any responses to questions will be made in writing, without identification of the questioner. Phone inquiries are not permitted.

NOAA Acquisition Manual 1330-52.222-70 NOAA SEXUAL ASSAULT AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT
PREVENTION AND RESPONSE POLICY (MAY 2018)
In accordance with NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 202-1106, NOAA Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response Policy, it is the policy of NOAA to maintain a work environment free from sexual assault and sexual harassment. NOAA prohibits sexual assault and sexual harassment by or of any employee, supervisor, manager, contractor, vendor, affiliate, or other individual with whom NOAA employees come into contact by the virtue of their work for NOAA.
(a) Definitions.
Contractor Employees - The term “contractor employees,” as used in this solicitation and contract language, refers to employees of the prime contractor or its subcontractors, affiliates, consultants, or team members.
Sexual Assault - The term sexual assault, as used in this solicitation and contract language, means any conduct proscribed by state or federal sexual abuse laws, including, but not limited to, those defined in chapter 109A of title 18 of the U.S. Code (sexual abuse), and assaults committed both by offenders who are strangers to the victim and by offenders who are known or related by blood or marriage to the victim.
Sexual Harassment - As defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature when any of the following are true:
● Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly as a term or condition of an individual's employment;
● Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual;
● The conduct unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.
The main characteristics of sexual harassment are that the harasser's conduct is targeted against the recipient’s sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and is unwelcome to the recipient. It may include, but is not limited to: offensive jokes, slurs, epithets or name calling, undue attention, physical assaults or threats, unwelcome touching or contact, intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put-downs, constant or unwelcome questions about an individual's identity, and offensive objects or pictures.
(b) Requirements.
1. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that contractor employees maintain the highest degree of conduct and standards in performance of the contract. In support of this, NOAA urges its contractors to develop and enforce comprehensive company policy addressing sexual assault and sexual harassment.
2. The contractor shall include wording substantially the same as this solicitation and contract language in every subcontract so that it is binding upon each subcontractor.
3. If a contractor employee observes or is the object of sexual assault or sexual harassment, he or she is highly encouraged to report the matter, as soon as possible, to their immediate supervisor, the COR, subset of the COR (e.g. Task Manager or Assistant COR), or contracting officer (CO) if a COR is not assigned to the contract. The contract employee may also contact the NOAA Civil Rights Office to obtain guidance on reporting instances of sexual assault or sexual harassment. If deemed necessary, the contractor employee may also report such instances to local law enforcement. In the case where the incident occurs while performing at a remote location, such as at sea or in the field (at a field camp or other isolated location) where the above referenced individuals are unavailable, the contractor employee should follow the reporting procedure set forth in NAO 202-1106, Section 6.07, Reporting from Remote Locations.
4. Swift reporting allows NOAA and the contractor to take the appropriate measures to ensure that offensive behavior stops and the complainants’ needs are addressed.
5. The COR (if assigned), CO, and contractor, where applicable, will work together to ensure appropriate action is taken in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, contract terms and conditions, and the contractor’s written policy (where applicable).
6. The contractor shall provide all contractor employees assigned to perform under this contract with mandatory sexual assault and sexual harassment prevention and response training in compliance with the requirements of NAO 202-1106, Section 5, Prevention Training and Awareness, as part of their initial in-processing and on an annual basis thereafter. The initial training shall be completed within 30 business days (30 unless a different number is inserted) of contract award or the date a contractor employee is assigned to perform under the contract, as applicable.
Evidence of initial training by name and date completed for each contractor employee, shall be submitted to the COR or contracting officer (if no COR assigned) within 10 business days of completion.
