- Description
- NAVSUP FLCN, Philadelphia intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(i).� MIT is the only known source that can provide these services.� The requirement consists of U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) engineering support for the interagency very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) correlator at USNO. The proposed work builds on the correlation assistance and support that MIT Haystack Observatory (MIT/HO) has been providing USNO over the years. The proposed work focuses on assistance related to the dual-frequency (S/X) VLBI technique (herewith called �legacy VLBI�), thus providing continuity from the past to the present. Moreover, since the VLBI technique is in full transition from legacy VLBI to broadband VLBI (also known as VLBI Geodetic Observing System, or VGOS), a notable technology transition that MIT/HO engineering leads, we propose to extend support to also include VGOS expertise, thus also providing continuity from the present into the future. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement.�
