Summary
The Almanac Support Services opportunity is a combined synopsis/solicitation issued by the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) for technical support in maintaining and updating its almanac products. The work involves providing specialized training and knowledge transfer to the Nautical Almanac Office (NAO) staff, ensuring that the almanac products remain accurate and useful. The contractor will be responsible for documenting processes, conducting training sessions, and providing on-the-job guidance. This opportunity is particularly suited for contractors with expertise in practical astronomy, astrometry, and celestial navigation, especially those familiar with USNO's legacy systems and algorithms. The government intends to negotiate with a sole source, Dr. George H. Kaplan, due to his unique qualifications and proprietary knowledge of USNO's processes.
