The current, approved Acquisition Plan for this acquisition includes issuing two (2) solicitations: one (1) for operations and maintenance support for the Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC); and, one (1) for software development support. For ease of reference, GSA assigns R1BK13090024 to the Operations and Maintenance procurement, and R1BK13090030 to the Development procurement. The Acquisition Plan provides for issuing R1BK13090024 (O&M) against the COMMITS NexGen Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) and R1BK13090030 (Development) against the ALLIANT Small Business GWAC. EBUY will be used to issue the solicitations. There is no information available currently regarding the release date for the solicitations or the anticipated award date.

All EBUY notices will include R1BK13090024 for the O&M procurement and R1BK13090030 for the Development procurement. This Special Notice provides all potential sources under the COMMITS NexGen and Alliant Small Business GWACs (and others interested in this acquisition) a point of contact at the General Services Administration and seeks to curtail or prevent further communications with NOAA or the Department of Commerce, generally. Please direct all communications to Anthony W. Pellegrino at the General Services Administration. Thank you for your attention to this Special Notice and I look forward to working with you.
