About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to the Regents of the University of Colorado for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Data Discovery and Interoperability services on September 23, 2026, with a contract value of $620,000.
The contract period runs three years from September 19, 2026 through September 18, 2029. Award was made on a sole-source basis under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), justified on the grounds that only the Regents of the University of Colorado's Natural Hazards Center possesses the required operational, data-rich SBES framework optimized for data discovery and interoperability, supported by 50+ years of experience and a network of 146+ researchers across 80 academic, nonprofit, and private sector institutions. The contractor will design and execute competitive subcontract solicitations with academic researchers, develop subcontract review criteria aligned with NOAA's data interoperability goals, conduct technical evaluations, monitor subcontractor performance, synthesize outputs across subcontractors, and produce summary reports for program review and future investment planning. Services are non-severable. Market research included a Sources Sought notice (June 18, 2026; two responses) and a Notice of Intent to Sole Source (July 9, 2026; no responses). Two interested sources, Inalab Group and Niyam IT, Inc., were found incapable of fulfilling requirements due to lack of an operational, immediately available SBES framework and database.
