About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specifically its Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) under the Oceanic & Atmospheric Research division, is procuring training services and extended warranty coverage for Meteodrone MM-670M unmanned aircraft systems. NOAA intends to award this purchase order on a sole source basis to Meteomatics AG, a Switzerland-based vendor, under the authority of FAR 6.103-1, as Meteomatics AG is the only provider authorized to deliver training and extended warranties for these specialized drones. The contract requires training delivery in Pohnpei, FSM, with a completion deadline of August 31, 2026, and the systems must comply with federal cybersecurity and information technology policies including the Cyber Security Information Sharing Act of 2015, OMB Circular 1-130, NIST SP 800-38, and NAO 212-13 NOAA Information Technology Security Policy. This Pre-Solicitation Notice is not a competitive solicitation; however, interested firms may submit substantiating documentation or requests for additional information to Casey Keating at CASEY.KEATING@NOAA.GOV within 15 days of publication (by April 10, 2026). The opportunity is classified under NAICS code 611512 (Flight Training) and PSC category U008 (Education/Training).
No set-aside designation is being used for this sole source acquisition, and Meteomatics AG is identified as the incumbent contractor based on NOAA's prior purchase of their MM-670M meteorological drones selected for their highly specialized technical specifications. The contract will provide two years of extended warranty coverage ending December 31, 2028, in addition to the required training services. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the Pre-Solicitation Notice, the contract encompasses both the training component and the warranty extension period. The drones have already been approved by NOAA's Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Division (UASD) and are confirmed to meet all NOAA airworthiness and operational requirements. Interested parties should direct inquiries to the point of contact, Casey Keating at the NOAA Western Acquisition Division in Boulder, Colorado, at 303-578-2579.
