Description

** THIS SPECIAL NOTICE IS STRICTLY FOR INFORMATIONAL USE. IT ALSO SERVES AS ADVANCE NOTICE THAT A FULL BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT IS FORTHCOMING. ** NOAA plans to release a Broad Agency Announcement review of advanced technologies for its future planning for the next-generation ground processing architecture in support of the agency's space operations. The BAA � and the study that will result � is part of NOAA�s Office of System Architecture and Advanced Planning (OSAAP) Joint Venture Program. Joint Venture examines the feasibility of partnering with other federal agencies, the academic community, or the commercial sector to develop promising innovative research and technology to meet NOAA�s future observational, product and service needs. Specifically, this BAA invites studies and demonstrations of new technologies and novel concepts that support reimagining NESDIS's future approach to its ground operations. The NESDIS Ground Enterprise Study (NGES) has pointed out that the current ground operational architecture does not scale economically and would begin to absorb a larger fraction of the projected overall budget. The strategic goal of NESDIS is to ensure that NOAA can support the anticipated increase in the number of operational satellites and other data streams of environmental observations in the 2030+ timeframe. In this BAA, NESDIS is interested in entering into partnerships with industry, academia, and other federal agencies for the purpose of assessing new and innovative technologies and novel concepts to realize an efficient and cost-effective ground processing enterprise of the future. In addition, NESDIS is interested in learning from these studies and demonstrations to complement its own internal assessment based on NGES and to potentially consider these approaches in its long- term planning and possible acquisition in support of the ground processing of the future. The BAA will be posted on the federal contracts opportunities website, SAM.GOV. In the BAA, NOAA will be asking for white papers submissions, which should not exceed five (5) pages. The agency is planning to conduct an Industry Day during the open submission period to answer any questions related to the BAA. Depending on responses and the availability of funding, NOAA may award zero, one, or multiple study contracts, grants, or interagency agreements as a result of this BAA. The BAA will be open to all industry, Government Labs, and Academia. Universities, Institutions, and Small Businesses are encouraged to submit their own individual response, and/or join other entities as team members in submitting responses to the BAA.
