About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a Sources Sought notice regarding NOAA's Alpha Inventory and Maintenance System Upgrade requirement. The document reveals this is a new requirement with no incumbent contractor. NOAA has not yet determined if this will be a small business set-aside or full and open competition, pending review of responses to the sources sought notice.
Key details include that NOAA is considering all contract vehicle options with no preferred vehicle identified yet. The work will be performed at a non-Government facility, and NOAA prefers a hybrid cloud software solution rather than a full cloud implementation. No cyber expertise for ATO coordination is required. The agency has not provided an estimated contract value. The requirement falls under the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Sources Sought Questions and Government Response
1. Is this requirement a new requirement or is there an incumbent contract currently performing these services? If there are incumbent vendor(s), would you be able to provide the contract details (such as: Vendor Name, Contract Number, Award and end dates, total contract value)? Could you provide details on the existing contract and any known changes in scope for the upcoming solicitation?
· There is no incumbent as this is a new requirement.
2. Is an estimated value available for this potential requirement?
· No.
3. Does NOAA anticipate setting aside this opportunity for small businesses, including 8(a) or WOSB, or will it be a full-and-open competition?
· We're unsure at this time. We're waiting until the sources sought notice closes to determine how many interested and capable vendors exist.
4. Are there any specific NOAA contract vehicles preferred or required for this procurement, such as NOAA ProTech or GSA IT-70?
· We're looking at all vehicle options at this time and don't have a preferred or required vehicle yet. But that is subject to change.
5. In light of NOAAs Cloud Strategy and Transformation initiatives, is the preference to move the application to the cloud?
· A hybrid cloud software solution, rather than an all-Cloud solution, offers a compelling middle ground between the complete flexibility of a public cloud and the control of an on-premises infrastructure.
6. Is there a need for cyber expertise to coordinate on ATO?
· No.
7. Does the Program Manager and any of the team members need to be in the vicinity of the place of performance - what percentage of time is onsite needed?
· Work is to be performed at a site other than the Government facility.
