Performance Work Statement

Precise Time and Astrometry Workflow Management

United States Naval Observatory

3450 Massachusetts Avenue NW

Washington, D.C. 20392

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 Background

1.1.1 Purpose

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the performance requirements for Precise Time and Astrometry Workflow Managers in support of the United States Naval Observatory (USNO).

The Government uses a Performance-Based Services Acquisition (PBSA) strategy to establish the descriptions, instructions, and references in this PWS. The Government may provide additional details or references when experience indicates a need to achieve a specific, effective, and efficient outcome. The presence or absence of such details reflects the performance-based nature of this requirement and shall not be construed as listing all implied tasks necessary to achieve successful performance.

Referenced publications, regulations, and guidance in this PWS establish applicable performance standards. The Contractor shall adhere to those standards unless the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) provides specific written relief.

1.1.2 Mission Background

USNO is responsible for the production and dissemination of Precise Time, Astrometry, and Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) for Department of War (DoW) navigation use under DoD Instruction (DoDI) 4650.06, Change 1, Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Management.

This mission includes the development and dissemination of precise time and astrometry data products. USNO requires workflow-development expertise to organize, optimize, and manage processes supporting the acquisition of accurate time measurements, precise celestial observations, Earth-orientation calculations, and associated networks.

1.2 Scope

USNO requires workflow-management expertise to streamline operations, minimize errors, and maximize efficiency throughout the process chain--from research and development through dissemination of precise time and positional information--across five functional areas.

The Contractor shall provide the personnel, supervision, management, expertise, and other resources necessary to perform the requirements identified in this PWS and applicable task orders, except for items expressly identified as Government-furnished property (GFP), Government-furnished equipment (GFE), or Government-furnished information (GFI).

1.3 Period of Performance
