This notice describes a post-award justification for a sole-source modification with Spire Global, Inc. under NOAA's Commercial Data Program. The contract modification extends the period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. Spire will collect, process, and deliver Level 1 science-grade brightness temperature data from its Hyperspectral Microwave Sensor to support evaluation of its impact on global weather prediction models. The modification value is $5,000,000. The sole-source justification is based on Spire being the only operational commercial source capable of meeting the requirements within the mandated timeframe.
