The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Western Acquisition Division intends to award a sole source purchase order to South Dakota State University for atmospheric chemistry research services under solicitation number 145044-26-0015JRW. These non-personal services support the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, Climate Program Office and will be performed in Brookings, South Dakota, with an anticipated performance period from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. This requirement is classified under NAICS code 541990, All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, and PSC B510, Special Studies/Analysis- Environmental Assessments. No set-aside is to be used for this requirement.
The research scope requires highly specialized technical expertise and institutional knowledge of proprietary algorithms and computer code used in NOAA’s RAVE and GBBEPX products. South Dakota State University developed and has maintained these products for over a decade and is the only vendor that specializes in research using these specific codebase algorithms. The project involves the development and integration of new combustion-phase-based emission factors into these NOAA systems, necessitating the unique expertise maintained by the university.
While this presolicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals, firms that believe they can meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to Jamie Rosales. The response deadline for this notice is June 18, 2026. The government will use any received documentation to determine whether a competitive procurement process is warranted, though the final determination remains within the government's discretion.
