The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS),Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS) has a requirement to perform engineering analyses and develop engineering designs for the expansion or replacement of mission critical power, cooling, and fire alarm systems at two NESDIS satellite data acquisition stations (Wallops, VA). The analyses and designs will require design expertise in mission critical data centers, emergency power, uninterruptible power supply systems, redundant power distribution systems, central cooling plant operations, and fire alarm system design. A Ready-to-Advertise design for the fire alarm system is required for the Wallops Station. Given the critical nature of this procurement, the Government needs to award this contract to an experienced Architecture-Engineering firm who have subject matter experts for data center design and expansion as well as fire alarm system design.
