No funding will be placed on contract and obligated at the time of award. The ESRP system provides real-time direct readout of environmental data to the meteorology and oceanography (METOC) personnel to support mission planning and execution in all warfare areas. The system ingests, stores, processes, and displays raw data from multiple national and international (polar and geostationary) METOC environmental satellite families for mission planning and execution. This modification will allow for continued procurement of highly specialized engineering services to analyze and implement system functional upgrades, update system documentation, and repair hardware and software for the Navy’s meteorological and oceanographic satellite receiver processor systems. The contract includes a 10-year ordering period. Work will be performed in Indianapolis, Indiana, and is expected to be completed by Jan. 30, 2027. In accordance with 10 U.S. Code 3204(a)(1) – Only One Responsible Source (Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 6.302-1), this sole-source modification was not competitively procured. The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, San Diego, California, is the contracting activity (N00039).
