00 Required Labor Categories.docx

This is a Required Labor Categories document outlining staffing requirements for workflow management services supporting the United States Naval Observatory's (USNO) precise time and astrometry operations. The document specifies labor categories across two classification levels: Principle and Master, with anticipated levels of effort measured in Full Time Equivalents (FTE), where one FTE equals 1,920 hours of work. The staffing requirements include one Principle-level Workflow Manager, six Master-level positions, four Senior-level positions, and one Basic-level position, totaling 12 personnel across the functional areas supporting USNO's mission to produce and disseminate precise time, astrometry data, and earth orientation parameters to the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.

This staffing document supports a Sources Sought Notice (Solicitation Number N0018926RFI009) issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command under the Department of the Navy. The Sources Sought is a pre-solicitation announcement for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract. The Government intends to procure workflow management services as commercial items to streamline operations across five functional areas at the United States Naval Academy (USNA), with the goal of enhancing productivity, maintaining quality of data products, and accelerating research-to-operations processes while facilitating collaboration among multidisciplinary teams of scientists, engineers, and technicians.
