JOB DESCRIPTION
Summary/Objective The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS), Office of Systems (OS), Engineering Standards Division (ESD) has a requirement for Systems Engineering Support Services. The mission of Office of Planning and Programming for Service Delivery (OPPSD) is to plan and program service delivery capabilities across NWS portfolios. This requirement fulfills the mandate to oversee and guide the technical evolution of modern NWS systems, services, communications, and networking assets.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this non-personnel services task order is to obtain technical engineering, operations research, business, and administrative support services. These services will assist the NWS in managing modernization and development activities for next-generation NWS systems and services across multiple enterprise portfolios.
