Science Computing Facility (SCF Clause Samples

Science Computing Facility (SCF. The IT will procure hardware and software as needed for the SCF to support the production processing software development, Integration and Test (I&T), data validation, and generation of special data products for NPP. Measures will be taken to ensure compatibility with production systems planned for NPP. The SCF will have sufficient computing resources (e.g., processors, storage capacity and communication) to accomplish the aforementioned tasks. The IT will be responsible for operating and maintaining the SCF. For NPP, the IT will be responsible for the integration of the ground support operations planning system software at the SCF and for its use in instrument operations support. The Information Technology Security Plan for the Science Directorate Servers (SDS), SC-008-M-LRC-1002, and Information Technology Security Plan for the Science Directorate Computing Environment (SDCE), SC-011-M-LRC-1001, will be used to protect computer resources.
