NOAA / Space Weather Prediction Center

Welcome to the pages that allow SWPC to communicate with vendors and potential vendors about policies and opportunities in space weather services.

See Vendor list on Commercial Space Weather Service Providers

Because SWPC is not able to provide all the services that our users want, we are anxious to work with value-added vendors who will use our data and products to develop commercially available products. This goal is strongly supported by the NOAA directives to work with the private sector and make government resources available to the public.

SWPC holds annual meetings with vendors and urges vendors to attend Space Weather Week so as to talk to end users, researchers and other vendors, each of which may foster customer opportunities.
 

• Space Weather Week
  SWPC's Annual Conference pages give you information about previous conferences and the upcoming SWW.
• SWPC Privary Policy, Disclaimer, and SWPC Data Disclaimer
• SWPC Policy for Improving Customer Service by Fostering a Vendor Industry
  The conference in May 2000 held a vendor meeting on Wed. night, May 3. Most of the discussion focused on the formation of a vendor association. A Policy for Fostering a Space Weather Industry was outlined by Barbara Poppe.

This meeting saw a major initiative to support vendors, which fosters opportunities for new space weather services. Please review this recap of the SWPC presentations to understand the relationships now possible with SWPC.
