About this opportunity

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service Eastern Region has issued a single source determination for climatological weather observation services at Blue Hill Observatory in Milton, Massachusetts. The contract was awarded to Blue Hill Observatory & Science Center Inc. on August 30, 2025, for providing continuous weather observations and maintaining climatological records at their facility. The sole source justification is based on the observatory's unique historical significance as the longest running weather observation site in New England, with continuous data collection dating back to 1885, making it irreplaceable for maintaining climate record integrity. The firm-fixed-price contract covers one 12-month base period and one 12-month option period, though the specific contract value was redacted from public disclosure. The weather data collected at this site supports NWS forecasters, engineering applications, and climate research, with the observatory's specific location, controlled access, and historical continuity being critical factors that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
