Weather Data, Inc.

Weather Data, Inc., a total small business set-aside contractor headquartered in Garner, Iowa, provides manual weather observation, meteorological forecasting, and oceanographic analysis services to the Federal Aviation Administration under two single-award indefinite-delivery contracts as a prime contractor. All recent activity derives from the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Franchise Acquisition Services customer, where Weather Data holds a concentrated position on meteorological observation contracts supporting aviation safety operations.

Weather Data operates under the Contract Weather (CWO) Program with two core IDIQs awarded May 6, 2023, and running through May 31, 2028. The first IDIQ, CWO Program Area 2, carries a ceiling of $43.5 million and focuses on manual weather observation, forecasting, and analysis at Pensacola, Florida, to augment automated observing systems. The second IDIQ, CWO Program Area 6, carries a ceiling of $43.8 million and performs the same meteorological and oceanographic services at Pensacola International Airport in support of FAA operations. A third delivery order under CWO Program Area 6 was issued July 7, 2026, by GSA (acting as the contracting office for FAA) with a firm fixed-price ceiling of $3.7 million and an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2027.

The vendor's entire three-award footprint derives from a single customer agency — the FAA — and concentrates in meteorological observation and weather reporting services (all three awards carry the same PSC: Support-Professional, Weather Reporting/Observation). Three delivery orders under the two Program Area IDIQs were issued to Vero Technical Support, Inc., a veteran-owned small business, for performance at Pensacola. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $91 million, though only $3.7 million (4%) has been obligated. One award carrying $3.7 million faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore presents a recompete opportunity. Weather Data does not appear in federal subcontract awards or grant-recipient roles.
