SOLE SOURCE: Integration of MPAS atmospheric dynamical core within the existing PyTorch framework for the NWS Office of Modeling and Development in Silver Spring, MD.
Solicitation # 142085-26-0014
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intends to award a sole source purchase order to IC Weather LLC for the integration and development of the MPAS atmospheric dynamical core within the PyTorch framework. This project, supporting the NWS Office of Modeling and Development in Silver Spring, Maryland, aims to leverage GPU acceleration to improve compute efficiency and enable future machine learning model parameterizations. The integration will provide direct access to parameter gradients, enhancing data assimilation capabilities through 4-Dimensional Varational algorithms and Forecast Sensitivity to Observation Impact techniques. The sole source justification is based on the vendor's proprietary software, which has already demonstrated a significant reduction in computational time compared to the current FORTRAN version of MPAS. To avoid duplicating efforts and risking intellectual property infringement, the government is bypassing a competitive process, though any resulting software derivatives will become open source. Interested firms may submit substantiating documentation to the contract specialist within 15 days of the notice to challenge the sole source determination.
