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). The U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) requires this support to facilitate the transportation of observational data and to ensure the timely and accurate determination of Earth orientation parameters (EOP). The work will involve post-processing software, 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 processing, are encouraged to express their interest, although the contract will be awarded solely to MIT due to their unique capabilities and established relationship with USNO.
