Full Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (DOC/NOAA/NESDIS) intends to modify an existing contract (DG133E-06-SE-5750) with the University of Texas - Austin to extend services for continued research in coral-based climate studies for the period commencing from time of award through August 31, 2009. This study involves using massive corals in the Caribbean sector of the tropical Atlantic Ocean for geochemical analysis. Coral samples will be removed from the skeleton and analyzed for the stable O and C isotopic composition as well as Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios. It is a collaborative effort between scientists at the University Nova Southeastern University (NSU), University of Miami RSMAS, USGS and University of South Florida (USF). In 2006, Dr. Quinn moved to the University of Texas at Austin (UT). In 2008, Dr. Halley retired from the USGS. The standard working arrangement has Dr. Dodge (NSU) focusing his efforts on studies of coral skeletal density, whereas Drs. Swart (RSMAS) and Quinn (UT) focus their efforts on studies of coral geochemistry. Geochemical analyses will be performed in the laboratories of Drs. Swart and Quinn. The previous USF phases of this study focused on generating proxy climate records from coral skeletons from the Florida Keys (Looe Key and Dry Tortugas) and Puerto Rico (La Perguera). The Looe Key and Dry Tortugas work is completed. A new suite of coral cores were recovered from La Parguera, Puerto Rico, last summer and these new cores formed the basis of the Ph.D. studies of Hali Kilbourne. All of this previous work has focused in the coral Montastraea spp., but recent work has begun to explore the coral Siderastraea spp. for its potential as a climate recorder (Maupin, 2008, MS thesis; Maupin, Quinn and Halley, in review). The UT portion of this year's study will include stable isotopic and elemental ratio determinations on a subset of corals samples from the Dry Tortugas. This procurement is being conducted per FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (NTE $100k) NAICS code 541710. This is not a request for a competitive proposal. It is a notice of intent to modify an existing contract for continued research.

NOAAPort Replacement Capabilities
Solicitation # 142083-27-0002
The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Weather Service (NWS) have issued Request for Information (RFI) No. 142083-27-0002 to conduct market research for the replacement of the legacy NOAAPort Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN). The government is seeking information on innovative, high-reliability distribution capabilities—which could be cloud-based, terrestrial, satellite, or hybrid—to deliver mission-critical weather data to a geographically dispersed user community. The replacement system must support the exchange, ingestion, processing, and distribution of data products and must integrate with the NWS Hydrometeorological Interactive Virtual Environment (HIVE) and the Centralized Integrated Real-Time Repository for Unified Services (CIRRUS) using common internet protocols such as APIs and MQTT. This notice is for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation for award; no funds have been authorized or appropriated for this effort at this time. The NWS intends to deactivate the legacy SBN as early as August 31, 2027, and is requesting industry feedback on technical architectures, cloud migration strategies, security protocols, and rough order of magnitude cost estimates. Interested respondents must submit their responses in Microsoft Word or PDF format to the designated points of contact by October 29, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The government is utilizing this RFI to inform its acquisition strategy and evaluate potential small business set-aside opportunities under NAICS code 541512.
