About this award
The U.S. Naval Observatory awarded a $496,899.84 firm fixed-price delivery order to Computational Physics, Inc. for a VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) Research Associate Postdoctoral position, with performance in Washington, DC and an ultimate completion date of December 19, 2027. This award is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and represents a delivery order against one of the contractor's existing indefinite delivery contracts with the Naval Observatory. Computational Physics, Inc., headquartered in Springfield, Virginia, is a scientific and technical services provider with extensive experience supporting federal research missions across computational physics, remote sensing, astronomy, and astrophysics domains.
The position supports the Naval Observatory's radio astronomy and precision measurement missions, which rely on VLBI technology for high-resolution astronomical observations and astrometric research. Computational Physics, Inc. has a substantial portfolio with the Naval Observatory, including a primary $72.71 million indefinite delivery contract for astronomy-related scientific and technical services through February 2029 and a $4.2 million contract for research scientist and R&D support services. The company's demonstrated expertise in providing postdoctoral research support, physics research services, and specialized technical assistance across the Observatory's astronomy and space science programs made it well-suited for this award.
