Human Mobility Data Subscription

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is soliciting quotes for a one-year Human Mobility Data Subscription to support research on recreational and human uses of coastal natural resources, with specific applications for measuring the effects of oil spills and toxic waste sites on human activity. Vendors must provide anonymized, nationwide human mobility data with minimum two years of historical coverage and preference for data extending back to 2019, delivered via downloadable CSV files or API access. Key requirements include data granularity sufficient to generate daily estimates of unique devices within NOAA-specified geographic areas, at least four user access credentials, comprehensive non-proprietary documentation including data codebooks and methodology statements, and customer service support. Evaluation will prioritize the Technical Approach (most important factor), followed by the Sample Scenario demonstration, with Price as the third and less heavily weighted factor. Questions must be submitted by February 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, and quotes are due by February 24, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time to Marion Cavanaugh (Contract Specialist) and Heather Coleman (Contracting Officer).

This solicitation uses no set-aside designations and is conducted as full and open competition under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12 for commercial products and services. The contract period runs from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, with two optional 12-month renewal periods extending through May 31, 2029. Vendors must submit proposals in two volumes with the Technical Approach and Sample Scenario limited to a maximum of 10 pages combined, and must provide a sample dataset for American Family Field in Milwaukee covering January 1, 2023 through January 1, 2025 to demonstrate delivery capability. The subscription must support approximately 15 discrete projects annually with nationwide coverage and unlimited access or sufficient quota to meet NOAA's needs. Performance will take place in the United States with all data deliverables provided remotely, and the government will issue a purchase order on or before May 29, 2026.
