About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to procure specialized atmospheric water vapor sounding services in Alaska through a sole-source procurement. The work involves conducting monthly launches of Cryogenic Frostpoint Hygrometer (CFH) and Frostpoint Hygrometer (FPH) instruments from Utqiagvik, Alaska, to measure upper atmospheric water vapor. The contractor will be responsible for instrument preparation, calibration, launch operations, and data submission to the GCOS Reference Upper-Air Network (GRUAN). NOAA has identified the University of Alaska Fairbanks as the only source capable of executing this specialized work due to their unique expertise with expendable payloads and remote launch site capabilities. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on August 28, 2025, with a response deadline of September 12, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be awarded as a sole-source contract to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The contract structure will be a firm-fixed price purchase order valued at $21,000 for the complete scope of work. The performance period extends for one full year, running from September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2026. The work requires monthly launch operations throughout this twelve-month period, making it a recurring service commitment that will support ongoing atmospheric research and monitoring objectives for NOAA's scientific programs.
