The proposed contract would be a recompetition of the current Airborne Weather Reconnaissance contract. The contract will provide real-time observation and reporting of weather phenomena and parameters in the airspace at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the vicinity as directed and communicated by the Launch Weather Officer. The types of information required include, but are not limited to, cloud height, thickness, and location, temperature, wind speed and direction, turbulence, type and intensity of precipitation, and lightning observations. The contractor must be able to provide direct observation (including aircraft weather radar interrogation) of the area of interest up to an altitude of 45,000 feet during icing, moderate turbulence, and Instrument Flight Rule conditions at any hour of the day or night for a minimum of three hours at a time.

Proposed contract type is fixed price with economic price adjustment (FP/EPA). A basic contract period of one year with four 1-year option periods is contemplated.
