NOAA Awards $4.8M TraCSS Cloud Services Order

On January 24, 2025, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) placed an order valued at $4.8 million to service the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS). TraCSS is the civil space situational awareness system being fielded by NOAA’s Office of Space Commerce to support spaceflight safety. 

Under this order, Science Applications International Corporation, Inc. (SAIC) of Reston, Virginia, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) of Seattle, Washington, will provide cloud hosting services for TraCSS from October 2025 to October 2026. The award, made under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), does not affect the existing, separate cloud services agreement with AWS, whose period of performance continues until October 2025. 

The award represents NOAA’s continued commitment to the TraCSS program during its agile development as a modern, cloud-based IT service serving global space operators.
