About this opportunity

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $600,000 firm-fixed-price contract to the University of California, Davis on June 10, 2026, for development of a web-based Sector Specific Drought Early Warning Dashboard to identify multi-sectoral drought hazard indicators and expected impacts.

The 2-year contract period runs from September 19, 2025, through September 18, 2027. The platform will be built on NOAA's National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) investment and deliver sector-specific drought hazard indicators, real-time drought impact estimations, and a web application dashboard covering four sectors (cities, small communities, agriculture, and environment) across all California hydrologic regions. Services are non-severable. The award was made as a sole source to UC Davis based on its deep expertise in water resources engineering, established relationships with NOAA/NIDIS, and integral role within California's drought and water resources community. Market research included a Sources Sought Notice (July 18–28, 2025) generating 15 responses and a Notice of Intent to Sole Source (August 8–15, 2025) with no objections. No actions are available to overcome barriers to competition for subsequent acquisitions.
