Updates and revisions to the BAA have been indicated within the document by the red font. The Community Day Presentation and slide deck has been provided and is now included in the attachment/links section of this posting. An online link to the Community Day video recording has now been included in the attachments/links section of this posting The attendee list for the 3D Winds Community Day is now provided in the attachments/links section of this posting A consolidated spreadsheet of the Questions and Answers (Q&A) received for the 3D Winds BAA is now included in the attachments/links section of this posting **AMENDMENT 2** Due to feedback received through offeror questions and in the scheduled 1:1 sessions, the OSAAP JV team has determined it would be beneficial to extend the due date for white paper submissions from the original due date of May 27, 2022 to June 7, 2022. At this time, the due date change is not reflected in the attached BAA pdf. However, another amendment to this BAA is forthcoming, which will reflect updates to the technical requirements of this project resulting from feedback received through questions and vendor 1:1 sessions. At that time, the updated PDF will reflect the June 7, 2022 due date for the white papers. **AMENDMENT 1** It is required for all prospective offerors and partners from industry, academia and Government to pre-register for the Virtual Community Day Plenary Sessions. This is now indicated in the BOLD and UNDERLINED font in the description language. The link to the Virtual Community Day for the 3D Winds BAA has been updated to the correct link. The “Measuring the Atmospheric Wind profile (3D Winds): Call for Studies and Field Measurement Campaigns” Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is posted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 35.016. The United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental and Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), Office of Systems Architecture and Advanced Planning (OSAAP) is requesting for submission of white papers to conduct studies of instrument concepts and/or integrated mission concepts in support of needs for non-real time global wind profile weather data to support the needs of the space based environmental monitoring community. This BAA is exploratory only and currently there is no planned mission for 3D winds. NOAA’s expectation is to use the results of the demonstrations and studies to gain a deeper understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the different technologies available to measure 3D winds, as well as how the characteristics of their measurements can be leveraged to meet NOAA performance needs. The results will also assist NOAA in developing recommendations on how to potentially include 3D wind requirements, and their implementation, in the next generation space architecture planning. Additional details and technical requirements are included in the attached documents. A virtual Community Day will be held on May 11, 2022 to allow for engagement with the Government on this requirement. It is required that all partners from industry, academia, and Government pre-register for this event at the link listed in the attachments/links section of this posting titled, "3D WINDS - VIRTUAL COMMUNITY DAY: Registration Form." Attendees should consider submitting questions pertaining to the BAA in advance of Community Day to ensure that a thorough response to these inquiries is incorporated in the presentations and question response sessions. All questions shall be submitted NO LATER THAN May 9, 2022 at 12PM to the Contracting Officer, Gabriela Bravo, and Contract Specialist, Bryton Curtis at gabriela.bravo@noaa.gov and bryton.curtis@noaa.gov. Upon registration for the event, attendees will have the opportunity to register for a limited number of 1-on-1 Question and Answer breakout session with Government representatives. The purpose of these 1-on-1 sessions is to give industry partners the opportunity to ask Government representatives questions that may reveal information that is sensitive in nature pertaining to their approach. A link to the registration page for the NOAA 3D Winds BAA 1-on-1 sessions is listed in the attachments/links section of this posting titled, "3D WINDS - COMMUNITY DAY: 1-on-1 Session Sign-up Sheet." *** Registration for both the Community Day and the 1-on-1 sessions occurs on a third party site. You will be exiting this government site to register. ***
