Key Details
- What exactly do they need?

- What's the contract structure and timeline?
The contract is a firm-fixed-price purchase order with a period of performance of 60 days after receipt of award. The Government intends to award a single award on an all basis.
- How will they pick the winner?
The evaluation basis is low-priced, technically acceptable.
- When and how do you bid?
Quotes are due on July 23, 2026, at 9 am EST. Submit electronically via email to sandra.thibodeau@noaa.gov and cc kelly.taranto@noaa.gov.

Heads up — easy to miss
