Weather Intelligence and Meteorological Support Services

The Houston Airport System is seeking comprehensive weather intelligence services, forecasting tools, alerting capabilities, and direct meteorological consultation to support operational decision-making and enhance situational awareness across all airport facilities. The agency requires a dedicated client-specific web portal featuring site-specific seven-day weather forecasts for up to three locations and an interactive weather mapping application with radar imagery, forecast graphics, and weather threat and alert layers. Real-time forecast and alert notifications must be delivered via email, SMS text messaging, and a smartphone application based on customizable alert parameters and trigger thresholds. The scope of work also encompasses meteorological consultation services providing direct access to professional meteorologists on a twenty-four-hour, seven-day-a-week basis. The selected provider must deliver pre-event weather briefings, real-time consultation during active weather events, post-event support, operational assessments, and coordination support throughout the duration of significant weather incidents. Additionally, the agency requires a system with historical archive and retrieval capabilities for past weather events, forecasts, and alerts, alongside comprehensive onboarding, user training, and ongoing technical support. Bidders must describe integration options with existing communication platforms and detail customizable alert trigger thresholds, specifically for lightning within two to three miles, tornado touchdowns within three to five miles, sleet events, freezing rain, and surface icing or winter weather impacts. The agency limits eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States, and the performance of the work must be conducted onsite in Houston, Texas. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget, and bidders must submit all questions no later than June 11, 2026.
