The Department of Commerce is seeking to recompete the LCOMMS contract to maintain a commercial terrestrial network essential for uninterrupted data transfer between antenna stations in Svalbard, Norway, and McMurdo, Antarctica, and NOAA Mission Operations and data processing centers. This infrastructure is critical for commanding satellites and transferring weather data from the Joint Polar Satellite System, which directly supports near-term weather prediction and public safety forecasts during severe weather events. Listed under NAICS code 517410 with a place of performance in Laurel, this effort aims to sustain a system that previously reduced operational costs by over 80 percent compared to the prior architecture. The project is currently in the forecast stage, with Keami Estep serving as the primary point of contact for the requirement.

Full Description

LEO is seeking to recompete the LCOMMS contract to continue using the commercial terrestrial network that provides uninterrupted and reliable data transfer between antenna stations (Svalbard, Norway and McMurdo, Antarctica), and NOAA's Mission Operations Centers and data processing centers. The network allows NOAA to operate and command its satellites, and to transfer weather data received from NOAA's Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS), thus enabling near term weather prediction and public safety weather forecasts during severe weather events. Without this data, our forecast ability will diminish and reduce our nation’s ability to protect lives and property. Use of the LCOMMS contract reduced costs by over 80% relative to the prior architecture in place.
