Combined RFI/Sources Sought - NOAA Multi-Cloud Enterprise Data Infrastructure Services

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is conducting market research to identify commercial sources for its Multi-Cloud Enterprise Data Infrastructure Services. Managed by the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), the project aims to accelerate cloud migration and improve enterprise data management. The agency intends to prototype a platform within 6 to 12 months that supports high-availability multi-cloud workflows, data federation, and AI scaling. Technical requirements include Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates, CI/CD pipelines, and interoperability with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) data platforms. The infrastructure must maintain FISMA-High or Moderate security compliance and FedRAMP standards. Responses will help NOAA determine its acquisition strategy and the feasibility of a future competitive procurement. The primary performance location is Silver Spring, Maryland, and submissions are due by June 5, 2026. An updated notice dated May 29, 2026, clarifies the technical scope by removing previous requirements for four specific data use cases. The NOAA OCIO is conducting market research for a multi-cloud infrastructure that supports weather, ocean, and space-based data capabilities. The NOAA OCIO is seeking to prototype an enterprise-grade platform that connects operational data generation with scientific and analytical workflows.
