- Description
- The National Weather Service's (NWS) National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) has a need for scientific services to (a) develop and maintain complex scientific algorithms for numerical forecast systems covering meteorological, oceanographic, air quality and environmental monitoring, ecosystem and hydrological forecast systems, and (b) transition into operations numerical forecast system upgrades. The "transition-to-operations" of each numerical forecast system upgrade involves both ensuring codes and scripts meet operational standards and testing systems thoroughly prior to operational implementation. These scientific services will be provided at NCEP's main facility at the National Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP) in College Park, Maryland. Some of the services may be provided at other NCEP centers, such as the Climate Prediction Center, College Park, MD, the National Hurricane Center, Miami, FL, the Storm Prediction Center, Norman, OK, and the Aviation Weather Center, Kansas City, MO. Services will be required in the following areas for numerical model prediction, analysis and data assimilation, and product development: (1) mesoscale weather for North America and sub-regions; (2) global weather; (3) real-time ocean features including waves, sea ice and marine ecology / dispersion / water quality; (4) climate modeling and monitoring (out to approximately 1 year); (5) hurricane track, intensity and related storm surge; (6) probabilistic prediction using ensembles; (7) air quality and environmental monitoring; (8) ecosystems and other societal applications (9) land surface and hydrology; (10) space weather (11) product and systems development (12) support of NCEP's software to the external community. The Government contemplates award of a cost plus fixed fee term contract as a result of the solicitation with a period of performance of one (1) base year and four (4) option years.
