Summary

The opportunity is a sole source contract for engineering support related to the Washington Interagency VLBI Correlator, specifically intended for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Haystack Observatory. This contract aims to provide essential services for the transportation and validation of observational data from potentially compromised sources, which is critical for Earth orientation parameter (EOP) determination at the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). The work encompasses a range of tasks including post-processing software support, correlation of special projects, electronic VLBI transfer, and data storage and transfer. Contractors with expertise in computer systems design services, particularly those familiar with VLBI technology and data validation processes, are encouraged to express their interest, although the contract is designated for MIT due to their unique capabilities and existing relationships with the USNO.
