3D Coastal Ocean Foundational Model Using AI, SCHISM and MLEOF Models.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Coast Survey intends to award a sole-source purchase order to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to develop an AI-based predictive model for ocean temperature, salinity, and currents by integrating the SCHISM physics-based modeling system and the MLEOF machine-learning empirical orthogonal function technique. VIMS is the sole originator and custodian of both the SCHISM model and its specialized 3D application, STOFS-3D-Atlantic, which provides the high-fidelity, long-term hindcast data essential for training the AI model. The project will further apply a generative forecasting transformer to derive accurate, deployable predictions, leveraging VIMS’s unique expertise in merging advanced coastal ocean modeling with proprietary AI methodologies that no other entity possesses. The agency determined no alternative sources exist due to the exclusive ownership of the required models and the deep, established technical integration capabilities only VIMS can provide, making competition infeasible. The contract period spans from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with no set-aside applied and the NAICS code 541715 assigned. Market research confirmed no other organizations can reproduce the necessary combination of SCHISM model access, MLEOF AI tool development, and operational-scale validation required to meet mission-critical objectives in coastal ocean prediction. While this is a presolicitation notice and not a competitive request, interested parties may submit supporting documentation or inquiries by August 11, 2026, to challenge the sole-source determination, though any decision to open competition remains at the government’s sole discretion. All communication must be in writing, and responses will be evaluated only to assess the validity of the sole-source justification. The place of performance is Gloucester Point, Virginia, with the primary point of contact being Michelle Walton of NOAA’s Eastern Acquisition Division in Norfolk.

The program aims to advance technologies capable of restoring function to damaged brain regions—specifically targeting areas such as the hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus, striatum, cingulate cortex, substantia nigra, brainstem, and cerebellum—by generating and engrafting region-specific precursor tissue, while explicitly excluding the neocortex and spinal cord as well as conventional cell or organoid-based approaches. Proposers must submit a mandatory solution summary prior to full proposal submission, with two intake cycles: the first requiring solution summaries by July 9, 2026, and full proposals by August 6, 2026; the second, with deadlines of January 7, 2027, and February 6, 2027, respectively. Proposals must be submitted via the ARPA-H Solution Submission Portal and must conform to a strict three-volume structure: Volume I (Technical and Management Proposal with a 10-page limit for core content), Volume II (Cost Proposal using the ARPA-H Standard Excel Spreadsheet and supporting narrative), and Volume III (Administrative and Policy Requirements including certifications for organizational conflicts of interest, research security, biosecurity, cyber practices, animal research approvals, and tax compliance). Awardees will be evaluated based on the scientific and technical merit of the approach, the proposer’s expertise, potential for clinical and commercial impact aligned with ARPA-H’s mission, and the reasonableness of the proposed cost, with no preset weighting but ranked in descending importance. Phase I awards are anticipated at $500,000 per team with optional Phase II funding up to an additional $500,000, subject to successful technical milestones and budgetary compliance. Financial administration requires registration and invoice submission via the Payment Management Services (PMS) portal, with detailed justifications for each payment tied to specific milestones or TDD tasks, and salary support for individuals is capped at the Executive Level II rate set by the Office of Personnel Management. All awarded work must occur in the United States, with priority given to domestic entities, and proposers must confirm compliance with national security
