About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Department of Commerce issued a sole source justification for a Principal Membership in the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), which was awarded on July 31, 2025, with contract number 1332KP25P0031. The procurement supports NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS) mission by providing access to critical geospatial data standards and systems interoperability capabilities. NOAA justified the sole source acquisition by demonstrating that OGC is the only international organization engaged in developing open standards for geospatial data and location-based services that meet their specific mission requirements. Market research conducted in November 2024 confirmed that no other companies offer comparable capabilities to fulfill NOAA's requirements for accessing critical information, steering standards development, and enhancing data system interoperability. The contract is structured as a firm fixed purchase order with a base period and four one-year option periods, though the specific award amount and vendor name were not disclosed in the public notice. The membership enables NOAA to participate in the development of open standards that are essential to the agency's geospatial data operations and mission fulfillment.
