Processing and Coordinate Products Services

The National Geodetic Survey is seeking a contractor to develop a scalable and repeatable processing framework capable of generating National Spatial Reference System-aligned coordinates. This framework must support Geodetic Reference Points associated with Continuously Operating Reference Stations that are not currently included in existing multi-year coordinate solutions. The agency requires this system to solve the problem of processing and managing coordinate products for these excluded stations. The scope of work covers the ingestion and management of Global Navigation Satellite System observation data and associated metadata. The selected contractor must implement both Precise Point Positioning and double-difference processing approaches, focusing on observation windows near reference epoch 2020.0. Additionally, the work requires independent validation using extra observation windows and deformation modeling, comparison against existing NOAA Share Network and International GNSS Service products, and the development of coordinate combination and stacking methodologies. To be eligible for this opportunity, organizations must be based onshore within the United States. The agency requires all performance of the work to occur offsite. Bidders must possess demonstrated expertise in Global Navigation Satellite System data processing, geodetic reference frames, geodetic network adjustment methodologies, metadata management, coordinate estimation, quality assurance and quality control, and operational geodetic workflows. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not signaled a specific funding limit. The source document does not contain specific evaluation criteria weights or key procurement dates. Bidders must submit proposals that address the creation of the repeatable workflows, coordinate products, associated uncertainties, and supporting documentation.
