The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Program Office intends to award a sole-source purchase order to the Regents of the University of Colorado for non-personal drought planning research services. This requirement, identified under solicitation number 145044-26-0004JRW, falls under NAICS code 541990 for All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services and PSC B510 for Special Studies/Analysis- Environmental Assessments. The performance period is scheduled from August 1, 2026, through January 31, 2028, with all work conducted in Boulder, Colorado.
The project utilizes the University of Colorado’s Natural Hazards Center to provide expertise as an information clearinghouse for the societal dimensions of hazards and disasters. Research activities focus on hazard mitigation, emergency preparedness, response, and recovery to reduce drought risk and harm to infrastructure. This collaboration supports the congressional mandate under the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) Public Law 109-430 to integrate and communicate drought impact information for regional and national decision-making. NOAA has determined the University of Colorado is the only entity capable of meeting these mission needs due to its specialized knowledge of the management and risk context of hazard planning.
No set-aside is used for this requirement. While this pre-solicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals, firms may submit documentation to the Western Acquisition Division by the response deadline of June 18, 2026, to demonstrate their ability to meet the government's requirements. These submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis. Jamie Rosales serves as the primary point of contact for this notice.
