This new procurement is for the implementation phase of the GeoXO Sounder (GXS) instrument. The GXS will be a hyperspectral infrared instrument that is planned to fly on the GeoXO program series of geostationary satellites.This is a new instrument for the GeoXO Program.� It will provide sounding observations of the western hemisphere for the first time, with critical information on the spatial and temporal gradients of atmospheric temperature and water vapor which will be fed into numerical weather prediction models run by National Weather Service and Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR). The contract scope includes the tasks and deliverables necessary to design, analyze, develop, fabricate, integrate, calibrate, test, verify, evaluate, support launch, supply and maintain the instrument Ground Support Equipment (GSE), and support Mission Operations at the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF). This procurement will be conducted as a full and open competition. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code and Size Standard are 541330 and $22.5M, respectively. It is anticipated that this competitive procurement will result in a Cost-Plus-Award-Fee (CPAF) hardware contract for the development of one flight model GXS, and two options, one for an additional Flight Model GXS and the other option for a FM spare.� The anticipated period of performance for this contract includes support for 10 years of on-orbit operations and 5 years of on-orbit storage, for a total of 15 years for each Flight Model (FM). The anticipated contract award date is late August 2023. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
