About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Special Notice for a Request for Information (RFI) on weather radar technologies and concepts of operations to support the NWS Doppler weather radar surveillance system. The RFI is part of the government's market research efforts required under the Federal Acquisition Regulation before developing new requirements for a potential future acquisition.
The purpose of this RFI is to gather information on vendors' technological capabilities to potentially support the NWS radar system. The government is seeking details on commercial Doppler weather radars, phased array radar technologies, antenna technologies, radial velocity measurements, faster volume scanning, and mobile radar technologies. Responses are due by September 20, 2024, and the information obtained will be used to inform the development of an acquisition strategy and a future Request for Proposal (RFP), if issued. The RFI does not commit the government to awarding a contract, and NOAA will not pay for any costs associated with providing information in response to this market research effort. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this RFI is 541330 - Engineering Services.
