Description

NESDIS STAR intends to award a sole source contract to Texas A&M University based on FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The purpose of this caction is to fill a new requirement for Improved CRTM for UV and passive microwave hydrometeor impacted radiances simulation. NOAA/NESDIS/STAR is seeking scientific and technical support services to advance radiative transfer capabilities in the UV and microwave spectra from Texas A&M University. Accurate radiative transfer modeling is essential for many applications which transform satellite observations from radiometric space to geophysical (e.g. brightness temperature to temperature), such as data assimilation. As data assimilation and numerical weather prediction systems advance, forward models such as radiative transfer models also need advancement to handle more complex scenes and inputs such as hydrometeors. A firm fixed price contract is contemplated for award for a duration of 18 months.
