About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intends to award a sole-source follow-on task order to Alpha Omega Integration, LLC for one year of information technology support services for the NOAA5009 FISMA-moderate Local Area Network supporting the NCEI Archive, under GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract GS-35F-360GA, with performance from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027.
NOAA justifies the sole-source award under the logical follow-on authority cited in RFO 8.401(b) and GSAM/R 538.7104-3(b)(1)(iii). AOI has provided four years of specialized institutional knowledge on the NOAA5009 system following its original award of Task Order No. 1332KP20FNEEN0057 on July 13, 2020, under a 100% 8(a) set-aside procurement. The current task order ends May 31, 2026. NOAA cites a mandated cloud migration of NOAA5009 to the Commercial Cloud by October 2026, directed by Executive Order 14028, as the critical driver. Introducing a new contractor mid-migration would create unacceptable technical risks, delay the federal cybersecurity deadline, impose an estimated 12-month discovery and stabilization period, and jeopardize a separate migration contract under concurrent solicitation. The NOAA Competition Advocate has conditionally approved the justification pending SBA approval of temporary release from the 8(a) program. Following completion of this bridge task order, NOAA intends to pursue competitive procurement under GSA 8(a) STARS III with an anticipated award by May 31, 2027.
