Details and background about the CWDP can be found in the attached draft solicitation. NOAA is inviting comments from industry through two avenues as described below: 1)Written comments, questions, or suggestions on the attached draft solicitation to be submitted via email to Sarah Waugh at sarah.waugh@noaa.gov with a copy to Galeeb Kachra at galeeb.kachra@noaa.gov per the deadlines listed below. 2)Participation in Industry Day.
