Awarded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency through full and open competition, this contract focuses on the research, design, and development of Meteorological Data Server and Numerical Weather Prediction capabilities. The period of performance consists of a one-year base term with two one-year options. The primary objective is to enhance meteorological computing platforms to provide a comprehensive capability for Department of Defense atmospheric transport and dispersion codes, ensuring that systems are operationally compatible with tools such as HPAC, IWMDT, and JEM. A critical requirement is the implementation of a cold-start mode for the NWP capability, allowing non-specialist operators to initialize forecasts and process results. The MDS must support up to 1000 simultaneous users with a data transmission window of five minutes, while maintaining compatible Weather Client software. To ensure security and accessibility, both systems must reside on classified and unclassified networks, adhering to DoD information assurance standards and utilizing PKI and CAC authentication.

Full Description

Show more
This contract is awarded as a result of full and open competition. The period of performance is for one year plus two one-year options. The contract is to build upon existing operational and research and development (R&D) meteorological computing platforms and prototype capabilities through research, design, development, engineering, publication, and upgrade of methodologies and technologies. The DTRA operational NWP capability must be made available on-demand in a "cold-start" mode meaning that potential operators of the system (i.e., engineers and scientists) not necessarily versed in the details of NWP should be provided with the ability to initialize an NWP forecast, verify the output, and process results that are operationally compatible with DTRA and DoD atmospheric transport and dispersion (ATD) codes (e.g., the Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability [HPAC], the Integrated WMD Toolset [IWMDT], and the Joint Effects Model [JEM]). The MDS system must be capable of serving weather data to 1000 simultaneous users, ensuring data is parsed, formatted, and transmitted successfully within five minutes. In addition, Weather Client software compatible with DTRA and DoD CA/CM systems that directly access MDS must be maintained and further developed. Both the NWP and MDS systems reside on DoD classified and unclassified networks and must meet DoD information assurance standards and be PKI and CAC accessible. The end-state goal is a comprehensive meteorological capability to serve DTRA and DoD CA/CM functions. The end system must include both an in-house, high-resolution NWP capability and the ability to serve NWP and observational data in appropriate formats seamlessly and securely to DTRA and DoD customers.

Custom Integrated Robotic System
Solicitation # PWS-RD-TS-TSE
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency intends to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to Rocky Mountain Unmanned Systems LLC for the design, engineering, and delivery of a functional prototype Custom-Integrated Robotic System. This research and development effort requires a robotic platform capable of autonomous navigation in hazardous environments to generate real-time, three-dimensional hazardous atmosphere maps. The project centers on a complex software integration task that fuses data from a government-furnished multi-gas chemical detector, a commercial quadrupedal robot, a survey-grade 3D LiDAR sensor, and a tactical mesh networking radio. The agency is utilizing sole-source authority because Rocky Mountain Unmanned Systems is identified as the only vendor with the proprietary software framework and demonstrated experience necessary to integrate these specific data streams without causing unacceptable schedule delays. While the hardware is commercial-off-the-shelf, the specialized data-fusion architecture is unique to the vendor. Although this is not a request for competitive proposals, other responsible sources may submit capability statements by October 22, 2026, provided they can prove they possess the required pre-existing software capabilities.

Gigamon Hardware Supply (GigaVUE-HC1 Platform)The contract awards the supply of Gigamon GigaVUE-HC1 hardware appliances to support network visibility initiatives at DTRA Headquarters and DTRA West as part of the SecureNet lifecycle replacement program. These appliances are critical for enhancing traffic monitoring, threat detection, and network analytics across secure defense networks. The delivery is targeted to fulfillment locations at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with a posting date of June 29, 2026, and the contract is structured as a subcontract under the broader Department of Defense procurement framework. The North American Industry Classification System code 334511 indicates the work involves the manufacturing of computer and peripheral equipment, specifically tailored for advanced network infrastructure needs. The contract supports modernization efforts within DTRA’s cybersecurity infrastructure by replacing aging systems with next-generation hardware that enables deeper packet capture, metadata extraction, and real-time network intelligence. Performance is tied to operational readiness at the designated defense facilities and requires precise alignment with existing network architectures and security protocols. Although no specific award amount or contractor name is provided, the focus on platform compatibility, reliability, and integration within secure environments underscores the mission-critical nature of the hardware deployment. This effort ensures continuity and enhanced capability for DTRA’s network operations under the ongoing SecureNet modernization initiative.
