This is a combined Sources Sought Notice (SSN) and Request for Information (RFI). The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) seeks information from interested parties on capabilities to provide operations, maintenance, sustainment, and new development for NOAA’s Data, Infrastructure, Science, C2, and Operations Services (DISCOS).  These include both on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure supporting NOAA’s on-orbit satellite mission operations, science data processing, and mission support systems.  NOAA also requests information on approaches to optimize NOAA’s enterprise data operations architecture.

This SSN/RFI consists of two parts. Part One (SSN) requests a statement of capabilities for the identified functional areas to conduct market research for a potential future NESDIS Multi-Award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (MA-IDIQ) contract vehicle to provide DISCOS.  Part Two (RFI) requests additional information from vendors interested in providing enterprise data operations services to NESDIS.  

Additional details are provided in the attachment labeled NOAA NESDIS DISCOS MA-IDIQ - SSN_RFI of this notice.
