The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gain an understanding of the potential technology solutions, costs and scheduling information needed to plan this modernization effort.

Additional information concerning the NWS modernization effort has been provided as attachments to this notice. Respondents are encouraged to submit responses that address any or all subsystems. NWS is interested in solutions for each subsystem as well as turn-key approaches that encompass all requirements.
