The USNO DiFX Software correlator requires specialized software be professionally maintained and integrated into the software correlator system to guarantee its operational status. Assistance with the development of software to analyze Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data processed by the Correlator for update of the Earth Orientation and Celestial Reference Frames is also required. This procurement is being processed through other than full and open competition as authorized by FAR 6.302-1. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Computation Physics, Inc. on a sole source basis. USNO believes Computational Physics, Inc. to be the only source able to meet this requirement. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice.
