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, is classified under NAICS 541990 for All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services and PSC B510 for Special Studies/Analysis- Environmental Assessments. The research aims to address programmatic gaps in regional and national drought communication and fulfill the congressional mandate under Public Law 109-430 to integrate drought impact information. No set-aside is used for this requirement.
The sole source determination is based on the University of Colorado’s unique expertise as the only academic research center tasked with coordinating research, practice, and policy communities to reduce hazard risk and harm to infrastructure. These specialized services involve hazard mitigation, emergency preparedness, and the application of risk context to drought planning. Performance will take place in Boulder, Colorado, with a scheduled period of performance from August 1, 2026, through January 31, 2028.
While this pre-solicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals, the government will consider written documentation from firms capable of meeting the requirements if submitted by the June 18, 2026, response deadline. Jamie Rosales-Wold serves as the point of contact for this notice, which currently includes zero attachments. Documentation received will be used solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis at the government's discretion.
