Leading IT Consultancy to apply successful strategies it has used in the Defense and Intelligence Communities

Instrumental was selected to be a member of the CSC team that has been awarded a contract by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for research and development of high-performance computing systems. The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract has a four-year base period, one four-year option and one one-year transition option, bringing the estimated contract value to $317 million if all options are exercised. The first year will be funded at $49.3 million by NOAA using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

As a subcontractor, Instrumental will deliver the architectural design, development, and implementation of complex data storage systems, which will allow scientists and researchers to more efficiently access and analyze crucial weather data.

“We are privileged to be part of CSC’s winning team, and we share their commitment to improve NOAA’s capabilities in the areas of forecasting, severe weather alerting, and climate research,” stated Instrumental CEO Paul Battaglia. “We’re committed to delivering NOAA new and innovative high-performance computing capabilities that will enhance the accuracy and depth of their weather analysis.”

NOAA is a scientific agency whose mission is to understand and predict changes in the Earth’s environment, as well as to conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our nation’s economic, social, and environmental needs.
