Contract Opportunity Analysis

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Geodetic Survey is seeking small business sources for a sources sought effort to support the Alignment CORS Processing and Coordinate Products requirement. The work is intended to develop a scalable, repeatable framework that generates authoritative coordinates for geodetic reference points associated with CORS stations not already included in existing NGS multi-year coordinate solutions. The contractor will need to handle GNSS data ingestion and metadata management, apply multiple geodetic processing approaches, validate and assess coordinate consistency and uncertainty, and produce operational coordinate products and supporting documentation, with strong expertise in GNSS processing, geodetic reference frames, network adjustment, and QA/QC. This is market research only and not a request for quote, and interested sources are asked to complete the Google Form provided, with questions or responses due by 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on Friday, May 29, 2026.

AI Summary
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) seeks contractor support for the “Alignment CORS Processing and Coordinate Products” project. This initiative aims to develop a scalable framework to generate authoritative coordinates for non-NOAA CORS Network (NCN) stations, aligning them with the modernized National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) and its new terrestrial reference frames (NATRF2022, PATRF2022, CATRF2022, MATRF2022). The project involves five key tasks: project initiation and data ingestion, initial coordinate processing and alignment, multi-solution validation and quality assurance, operational coordinate product development, and knowledge transfer and training. The contractor must demonstrate expertise in GNSS data processing, geodetic reference frames, network adjustment, metadata management, and quality control to ensure accurate and reliable coordinate products. The framework will support future expansion and updates, enhancing access to the modernized NSRS for various users.
