About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published a Special Notice of its intent to sole source a contract to John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The NOAA seeks to provide spectrum and special projects engineering expertise to support its National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service and other program offices for a one year base period.
The purpose of the procurement is to leverage JHUAPL's unique expertise as the incumbent from previous contracts involving the design of space systems and evaluation of space data. Services required include expertise in spectrum management, small satellite direct communication system validation, and mitigating interference risks from 5G technology. Interested parties could identify their capability by June 16, 2020, however, the estimated $354,245.18 contract is expected to be sole sourced to JHUAPL based on its critical support for NOAA's small satellite direct communication system testing from July to October 2020, and further testing scheduled for early 2021. No other sources were found capable of preventing a break in service for this mission-critical requirement.
