The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to establish a sole-source contract with Elsevier B.V. for a subscription to its ScienceDirect platform, providing NOAA-wide online access to 33 peer-reviewed scientific journals and the Freedom Collection, as well as select monographic series titles for designated library locations. This subscription is critical to supporting NOAA’s research activities, as these publications are only available through Elsevier and are essential to the work conducted across NOAA’s 16 library network and facilities without on-site servicing libraries. The contract, to be awarded under 41 U.S.C. 1901, will have a 12-month base period followed by four additional 12-month option periods, with coverage spanning January 1 through December 31 each year, beginning in 2027, and is authorized for up to $9 million using SAP funding. The North American Industry Classification System code is 513120 and the Product and Service Code is 7630, with no set-aside for small businesses intended. The primary point of contact for this requirement is Angela Royster, Contracting Officer, with Julia L. Hamilton listed as a secondary contact. The solicitation number is REQUIREMENTS-25-3420-Pre-Sol, posted on August 4, 2026, with responses due by August 19, 2026. While this is a pre-solicitation notice and not a formal request for competitive bids, interested parties are invited to submit written notification of their capability to fulfill the requirement, which the Government will consider in determining whether to pursue a competitive procurement. The contract will be managed under the Department of Commerce, with the overseeing office located in Seattle, Washington, and performance expected to be delivered electronically for access across NOAA’s nationwide operations.

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.
