About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has awarded contract 1332KP26P0041 to The Boeing Company for engineering anomaly support to the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) N, O, and P series spacecraft bus on a sole-source basis, with a one-year base period beginning September 21, 2026, followed by four one-year option periods extending through September 20, 2031.
NOAA's justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), identifying Boeing as the only responsible source. Boeing is the original manufacturer and sole possessor of proprietary information and algorithm design documents for the GOES-NOP spacecraft; no other vendor possesses the technical expertise, personnel knowledge, or authorization to support these specific spacecraft. Market research included review of AbilityOne and NOAA blanket purchase agreements, and a Notice of Intent posted to SAM.gov from March 19 to April 3, 2026, which yielded no capable alternative sources. A Notice of Intent to sole source was previously posted for the prior contract in October 2019 with identical results.
The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price and firm-fixed-price level-of-effort hybrid and will provide engineering support including maintaining spacecraft operations through decommissioning and reorbit activities, recommending remediation for operational deficiencies, researching root causes for on-orbit anomalies, and developing operational alterations to minimize performance degradation. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through price/cost analysis comparing similar contracts, the Independent Government Cost Estimate, and DCMA labor recommendations. The estimated total contract value is redacted.
