The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Services (NESDIS), Office of Systems Development Ground Systems (OSD), requires a single prime contractor for an end-to-end fully integrated ground system for reception and monitoring of Jason-2 satellite Telemetry, Commanding and Controlling of the Jason-2, processing Jason-2 raw science data into Near Real-time (NRT) products, distribution and archiving of Jason-2 data to users within the Continental United States and abroad. This effort is to support the Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM). This single prime contractor will interface with the Government and would manage all program subcontractors until the end of contract. The award will be a cost plus award fee type contract. The period of performance will be for one base year and two (2) option years. The contractor will be required to provide the following services to NOAA: 1. Integrate Jason Telemetry, Command, and Communications Subsystem (JTCCS) supplied by the Government into NOAA?s existing Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC), and back up SOCC at Wallops, Virginia. a. JTCCS is a real-time system designed to receive, decommutate, distribute, and display satellite telemetry; Format and transmit satellite commands; Remotely monitor and command earth terminals; Manage and archive telemetry and payload data; and Automate routine functions. 2. Develop software for the coordination, integration and generation of Jason-2 weekly stored command files (sequences). These sequences are required to be conflict free, constraint checked, and time ordered. The sequencing tool shall be compatible with JTCCS and/or NOAA?s current resource satellite scheduling tool named Satellite Operation Management Subsystem (SOMS). Specifically, the contractor will be required to develop a Jason-2 non real-time scheduling and sequencing system capable of the following tasks: Build integrated pass schedule using the NOAA Jason Command and Data Acquisition stations; Build time-tagged buffer loads for the Jason-2 satellite; Place scheduled activities in time-sequence order for use by JTCCS/SOMS. 3. Modify existing NOAA spacecraft scheduling software SOMS that uses NORAD two-line element vectors to generate a minute by minute subpoint track in addition to contact and tracking information for up to four readout stations and outputs to a Conflict Resolution and Master Scheduler. 4. Integrate a Government provided science Data Processing System in to existing NOAA/NESDIS Environmental Satellite-data Processing Center (ESPC). 5. Establish a data communications interface among above entities and the NOAA archive and access service named the Comprehensive Large Array ? data Stewardship System (CLASS).
