AI Contract Overview
The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) is seeking a single-award, Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the Northeast Regional Weather Records Center (NRWRC), covering the states of ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, WV, and DC. The contractor must be physically located within this region and is responsible for transforming NOAA’s satellite, in situ, radar, and paleoclimate data into regionally-tailored environmental products and services that support user communities, promote resilience, and advance decision-making across economic, public, and environmental sectors. The work is organized into four core areas: regional engagement and needs identification, prioritization and development of tools and services, transition of developed capabilities into NCEI’s operational systems, and sustained delivery of regional and national support activities. The base ordering period runs from September 17, 2026, through September 16, 2031, with a final delivery limit of September 16, 2032, and the total contract duration including options may not exceed 60 months. Task Order 1, which includes all core requirements for the IDIQ’s life and is firm-fixed-price, will be funded for a base period and five option periods with performance specified per order. The solicitation, numbered 1332KP26R0025, was issued on May 27, 2026, with the proposal deadline extended to June 26, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Proposals must be submitted electronically in four volumes: Business (SF-1449, representations, data management plan), Technical (oral presentation with slides), Past Performance, and Price, with all pages numbered and marked with the offeror’s name, date, and solicitation number. Only one proposal per offeror is permitted, and alternative proposals will not be evaluated. The source selection is based on best value, with non-price technical factors—experience, technical approach to Task Order 1, and key personnel—of equal importance and significantly outweighing price. The contractor must comply with numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including FAR 52.212-4 and 52.212-5, and NOAA-specific requirements such as making environmental data publicly accessible in a timely manner. The contract includes deviated clauses

1. Introduction and Background
The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) is to provide and ensure timely access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources to promote, protect, and enhance the Nation's economy, security, environment, and quality of life. NESDIS acquires and manages the Nation's operational environmental satellites, provides data and information services to numerous end users, and conducts related research.
Since 1990, NCEI’s RCS program has traditionally supported Regional Weather Records Centers (RWRCs) established at Public Universities within six geographic regions. For more than forty years, Regional Centers have produced and delivered environmental data, products, information, and services – hereafter collectively termed “products and services” – and captured user needs. By transforming, tailoring, and augmenting NCEI’s products and services, the RWRCs provide a bridge between NCEI and regional user communities, including the private sector. The RWRCs support NOAA’s mission to advance understanding of long-term weather variability and impacts through user engagement and the translation of data into usable products and services for decision makers.
2. Scope of Work
A. Geographic Scope
This contract is for the Northeast Regional Weather Records Center (NRWRC), which is composed of ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, WV, and DC.
The contractor providing the NRWRC capability to a region shall be physically located within the region and must serve all states, territories, and U.S.-affiliated islands in the region. An RWRC with unique capabilities may work with other RWRCs to meet user needs beyond its immediate region.
B. Program Scope
The NRWRC shall provide products and services to address regional weather records needs and issues in the context of NCEI’s broader environmental information responsibilities. This will include leveraging NOAA’s capabilities and expertise by transforming its satellite, in situ, radar, and paleoclimate data and products into regionally-tailored products and services, as appropriate, that meet the needs of users and partners and promote resilience and prosperity. The NRWRC will focus its work in four broad areas:
- Regional engagement and user needs identification, in which the NRWRC will engage with industry, economic and environmental sectors, and public sector constituencies throughout each region to understand their long-term weather-related issues, needs, awareness, and capabilities.
- Needs prioritization and product and tool provision, in which the NRWRC will adapt or develop, test, and sustain tools, products, and services meeting user requirements. To this end, they will support NCEI in the collection, understanding, adjudication and translation of user needs to requirements for future products and/or product modifications through regular contributions to NCEI’s requirements collection database tool.
- Transitioning appropriate tools, products, and services to sustained NCEI operational states, in which the NRWRC will plan and execute transition projects that result in new or upgraded NCEI operational software, systems, products, services, and other capabilities.
- Services in which the NRWRC will sustain activities supporting their mission of the provision of products and services as well as other NCEI regional and national needs.
