NWS Awards $497 Million Contract For NEXRAD Support

Centuria To Provide Comprehensive Life-Cycle Support For Weather Infrastructure

A Mission Support Information Technology Services (MSITS) task order for comprehensive life-cycle support for the Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) network has been awarded to Centuria under the Veterans Technology Services (VETS) Government-Wide Acquisition program. NEXRAD is operated by the NWS, the FAA, and the U.S. Air Force.  Centuria is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, and the task order has a 10-year period of performance and a ceiling value of approximately $97 million.

Under this task order, Centuria will support ongoing base operations and maintenance to the nation's weather radar infrastructure. Specific services include systems integration, proprietary software development, systems and software testing, data management, and systems documentation, as well as engineering support for special projects, such as radar product or system improvements and possible radar relocation.

The Radar Operations Center (ROC), headquartered in Norman, Oklahoma, provides national and international weather radar data used by the Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Transportation, and Department of Homeland Security, as well as radio and television stations across the country. The NEXRAD network of 167 weather radar sites forms the foundation of all national weather forecasting, and collects data for extreme weather notification and safety systems, military operations, and emergency management systems. NEXRAD data is also used by the FAA as an overlay on flight radar to enhance flight safety.

Centuria partnered with Serco Inc., which continues more than 12 years of legacy support to the ROC. The two companies bring to bear more than 500 years of collective, direct NEXRAD experience, translating to a zero-risk transition for the customer. "The Centuria leadership team -- including Program Manager, Bill Deringer -- continues a decade of veteran, onsite support that has earned the trust of our customer," stated Tim Green, Centuria's Chief Operations Officer. "We are honored to be chosen to support the NWS under this contract."
