Commercial Data Program (CDP) Microwave Sounder (MWS) Data Buy

NOAA’s Commercial Data Program (CDP) is issuing Solicitation 1332KP26R0007, an RFP to acquire commercial, near‑real‑time microwave sounder (MWS) radiance data—including optional hyperspectral observations—from on‑orbit MWS systems. The award will be a firm‑fixed‑price contract (or multiple contracts) to a qualified small‑business concern, with proposals due by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 22, 2026. Offerors must submit a technical proposal demonstrating capability to meet the Statement of Work (Attachment 1), a price proposal, and required business data (company name, UEI, contact information, etc.). The data must be delivered in the format and schedule specified in the SOW, comply with NOAA’s IT security standards, and include clear identification of any objective requirements that cannot be met, together with reasons and mitigation plans. The solicitation distinguishes threshold (minimum) and objective (desired) performance levels; failure to satisfy threshold requirements may preclude award. Evaluation will focus on on‑orbit data collection capability, data‑format compliance, timely transfer, and risk identification. The acquisition is a full and open competition reserved for one small‑business concern, incorporates FAR provisions by reference, and is not subject to DPAS ratings. All contract and invoicing instructions are outlined in the solicitation, and contractors must sign the document as part of their offer.
