WeatherBell Professional Licenses

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order to WeatherBell Analytics LLC for 155 professional licenses. The licenses will be delivered electronically, and the sole source determination is based on NOAA's requirement that WeatherBell is the only vendor that manufactures and distributes the specific licenses required. The licenses will provide access to the Canadian Global Ensemble Prediction System individual ensemble members and data using box-whisker plots at specific locations. Some key points to consider: • The licenses are required for the National Weather Service's forecasters to effectively analyze meteorological uncertainty in future forecasting services. • The governmentally owned software and capability do not allow the displays and/or the ability to analyze the data. • Firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this pre-solicitation notice.
