Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking a contractor to develop a processing framework for Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) to determine their coordinates in ITRF2020 at epoch 2020.00. The primary objective is the operational processing of stations, and a secondary objective is the development of a coordinate-processing framework. The contractor will be responsible for identifying, acquiring, and recovering missing historical observation records for non-NCN stations.
• The contract has a 12-month base year and two 12-month option years.
• The contractor should propose processing methodologies consistent with PWS requirements.
• The contractor will be responsible for developing and maintaining a separate processing environment.
• NOAA provides public access to station metadata repositories, equipment histories, monument information, and reference solutions for all stations in the NOAA CORS Network (NCN).
