Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is the "Past Performance Information Form" (also referred to as a Past Performance Reference Sheet). It is designed for contractors to provide details about their relevant past performance on similar contracts or efforts. This information is crucial for the Government to evaluate a bidder's experience and capability to perform the work described in the solicitation.

• Vendor Information: Name of Vendor.
• Contract Details: Contract Number, Order Number, or Identifier; Contract Type (Firm Fixed Price, Cost Reimbursement, or Time and Material).
• Government Point of Contact: Name, Title, Telephone Number, and E-mail Address of the Government agency or commercial entity.
• Contract Value: Total dollar value broken into annual increments.
• Period of Performance: Start and end dates.
• Type of Service(s) Provided and Location(s): Description of services and where they were performed.
• Detailed Description of Work Performed: Sufficient detail to demonstrate relevance to the solicitation's scope.
• Subcontractor Information: Details on subcontractors utilized, extent of work performed, and annual dollar value of subcontracts.

Bidders must complete this form for up to three (3) relevant contracts performed within the last three years. The form requires specific details about the contract, the services provided, and the performance outcomes. This information will be used by the Government to assess the bidder's past performance, which is a key evaluation factor. Bidders are encouraged to describe any problems encountered and corrective actions taken. Newly formed entities should leverage key personnel experience. The Government may contact the provided Points of Contact to verify information.

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This document outlines Phase 2 of the National Geodetic Survey's (NGS) initiative to update its land surveying software suite for the Modernized National Spatial Reference System (NSRS).

The project is divided into three main tasks:

• Task 1: Improved GNSS Observation Adjustment with LASER: Enhance the M-PAGES software suite by integrating the LASER engine for more efficient and accurate processing of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data. This includes supporting multi-GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) and improving performance for large network adjustments.
• Task 2: Consolidating Reading and Reduction Tools: Consolidate existing software tools (CALIBRATE and TRANSLEV) for processing differential leveling, total stations, and Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) observations into a unified Python-based tool that utilizes the LASER library.
• Task 3: Updating GNSS Antenna Calibration (ANTCAL) Source Codes: Port the existing ANTCAL application from Perl 5 and MATLAB to Python, incorporating a Windows GUI and improved user experience. This task also includes adding functionality for asynchronous receiver clocks and ensuring output in ANTEX format.

The contract has a one-year period of performance, with Task 1 estimated at 4-5 months and Tasks 2 and 3 estimated at 6 months each. Tasks can be conducted in parallel. The work will be performed in a contractor-provided development environment, with testing and integration on NGS systems.

• All source code must be in Unix or Linux environments, with executables for Windows where specified.
• Contractors must provide their own development environment and compilers.
• Deliverables include source code, build scripts, test cases, documentation, and final applications.
• All source code, test data, etc., must be destroyed by the awardee at the conclusion of the contract.
• Technical competencies required include understanding of geodetic procedures, Python and C/C++ programming, experience with the Eigen library, and GNSS positioning algorithms.
