About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intends to award a modification to SIMBA Enterprises, LLC on a sole-source basis under GSA contract GAS-35F-517AA for continued operation of GEONETCast America (GNC-A), a commercial satellite data broadcast service, with the period of performance extended from May 13, 2026 through June 12, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 8.4 and GSA 538.7104-3(b)(ii), establishing that only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the services are unique or highly specialized. NOAA's Acquisition and Grants Office, acting through the Satellite and Information Acquisition Division and the Office of Satellite and Product within the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service, determined that SIMBA Enterprises, LLC is the sole capable provider. The modification addresses a potential lapse in critical services caused by federal government shutdown impacts on revised contract award milestones; the extension preserves continuity until a follow-on award can be executed. GNC-A has operated since spring 2008 and delivers environmental data across the GEONETCast global network, providing broadcast coverage to North America, the continental U.S., South America, Central America, and the Caribbean Basin. The order is firm fixed price; the estimated value is redacted. Place of performance is Leesburg, Virginia.
