Quick Summary
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has published a Sole Source Justification for a one-year extension of Advanced Operations, Engineering, and Architecture Information Technology (IT) Support Services. This modification is for an existing contract with ANG Signal, LLC, supporting NOAA's critical N-Wave program. The extension aims to prevent a gap in essential IT services while a follow-on competitive requirement is processed.
Scope of Work
This justification covers the extension of advanced IT services for the N-Wave program, which provides secure, high-speed network connectivity for data transmission and remote collaboration. Key services include cloud networking, Local Area Network (LAN) support, enterprise wireless, firewalls, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services, all critical for NOAA's scientific research and weather forecasting missions.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sole Source Justification for Contract Modification
- Contractor: ANG Signal, LLC
- Duration: Up to one-year extension, from April 2, 2026, to April 2, 2027 (consisting of a three-month base period and a nine-month option period).
- Set-Aside: Not applicable for this sole source justification. A future competitive follow-on requirement is anticipated, for which market research indicated multiple small businesses could provide services.
- Published: March 27, 2026
Justification
The sole-source modification is justified due to ANG Signal, LLC's unique qualifications and existing infrastructure, which are essential to avoid unacceptable delays and disruptions to critical IT services. A presolicitation notice was posted on March 4, 2026, but received no responses. NOAA intends to competitively solicit the follow-on effort.
Additional Notes
This notice is for a contract extension to ensure continuity of operations. Interested parties should monitor SAM.gov for the future competitive solicitation for these services.
