The antennas will ingest, store, process and display raw data from multiple national and international environmental satellite families to capture and display Meteorology and Oceanography (METOC) Polar Orbiting and Geo-stationary Satellite Data for Mission Planning and execution. To meet this requirement, vendors must have subject matter expertise, technical capabilities, and facilities to produce and sustain shipboard systems (AN/SMQ-11) and shore systems (AN/FMQ-17). The period of performance is 5 years from award date. This announcement provides information that assists with subcontracting possibilities. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541330 (with a Small Business Size Standard of $15M).
