Global Modeling & Assimilation Support (GLOMAS) Draft Request For Proposal (DRFP)

You are invited to review and comment on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

(NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)’s GLObal Modeling and Assimilation Support

(GLOMAS) solicitation. The principal purpose of this requirement is to provide the maintenance

and development of the GMAO’s Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model and its

application to data assimilation, weather and climate prediction, and various scientific studies.

The work will include supporting the development and validation of individual model

components within the GEOS modeling system; maintenance of the GEOS Climate Diagnostics

Package; the development and integration of external components, such as the sea- and land-ice

models within the GMAO’s GEOS modeling and assimilation system; and supporting the use of

the GEOS modeling and assimilation system for the various applications in numerical weather

prediction, sub-seasonal to seasonal prediction, and decadal climate prediction.

NASA will conduct this acquisition as a Small Business Set-Aside competition. This competitive

acquisition will result in an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the

ability to issue Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) task orders, exclusively to small business concerns.

The contract will have an effective ordering period of 5 years from the contract effective date.
