Data Delivery and Near Real-Time Processing Infrastructure

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking a subcontractor to develop and maintain a data pipeline capable of processing and delivering near real-time snow depth and snow water equivalent products during the operational season, with final updates to be completed after the season concludes. The work will focus on building a robust infrastructure that ensures timely, accurate, and consistent delivery of critical snow cover data, supporting scientific and operational applications that rely on up-to-date hydrological information. The system must be designed for scalability, reliability, and integration with existing earth observation systems to enable continuous data flow from sources to end users with minimal latency. The contract is classified under NAICS code 518210, indicating a focus on data processing, hosting, and related services, and is tied to a performance location in Greenbelt, Maryland, where NASA Goddard is headquartered. The solicitation was posted on August 4, 2026, with responses due by August 11, 2026. This is a subcontract opportunity with no set-aside designation, open to qualified vendors who can demonstrate expertise in real-time data handling, remote sensing product generation, and operational data system maintenance. The successful bidder will be responsible for end-to-end system development, ongoing support throughout the snow season, and post-season refinement to ensure long-term viability and data quality.
