About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has awarded a sole-source contract to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. for long-term engineering anomaly support of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-NOP series Imager and Sounder instruments under contract 1332KP26P0042.
The justification cites L3Harris's proprietary ownership of instrument designs, exclusive access to classified technical information, and specialized expertise in anomalous engineering support. Market research confirmed no other vendors possess the required proprietary data and technical expertise to perform this requirement. L3Harris has supported the GOES-NOP program for over twenty years under the prior contract 1332KP20CNAA0086.
The contract period of performance runs from September 21, 2026 to September 20, 2027 (base period), followed by four one-year option periods extending through September 20, 2031. Engineering support services include maintaining Imager and Sounder instrument operations through spacecraft decommissioning and reorbit activities, providing remediation recommendations for operational deficiencies, researching root causes of on-orbit anomalies, developing alterations to minimize instrument performance degradation, and conducting research and development as directed by NOAA. The estimated total contract value, including base and all options, is redacted. Performance is under the NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Office of Satellite Products and Operations.
