The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking a contractor to develop a Common Analytic and Support System (CASS) for the National Weather Service (NWS) Tsunami Warning Centers (TWCs). The CASS will provide comprehensive and consistent forecast and alerting guidance in support of joint TWC operations. The system must incorporate originally-developed code from the first version of this requirement, the Common Analytic System (CAS), and must be able to perform various functions such as observational and other data ingest and assimilation, tsunami and other seismic-based model generation, and self-sustaining system health status and monitoring. • The contractor will be responsible for developing and testing the CASS, as well as migrating it into the TWC operations. • The contractor will work with the NWS team to integrate the AWIPS Tsunami Operations Messaging Service (ATOMS) operational platform into the TWCs and synchronize it with CASS. • The contractor will also provide support for the International Tsunami Information Center (ITIC) staff, including education and outreach, in-event staffing, and decision-support services. • The period of performance for this project shall not exceed one year from award, with an option to extend services for one additional year.
