About this award
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants awarded a $51,537.50 firm fixed-price purchase order to Exail Inc. on August 7, 2025, for one Fiber Optic Gyrocompass unit. The contract, which will be completed by February 28, 2026, fulfills a combined synopsis/solicitation issued on June 24, 2025, for commercial navigation equipment. The procurement specifically called for an Exail Pack Quadrans Fiber Optic Gyrocompass or equivalent product meeting stringent technical specifications, including portable design under 3kg, operating range of 0-100 degrees Fahrenheit, settling time under 45 minutes, and heading accuracy of 0.5 degrees or better. The gyrocompass will support USGS scientific field operations requiring precise GPS-referenced navigational measurements. No set-aside designation was applied to this full and open competition procurement.
Exail Inc., a small disadvantaged business and foreign-owned manufacturer of advanced maritime and scientific equipment, was selected as the prime contractor. The company, previously known as Ixblue Inc., specializes in fiber optic gyrocompasses, inertial navigation systems, and precision scientific instrumentation, with an established track record of federal contract performance for NOAA, USGS, and the Department of the Navy. The procurement followed FAR 12 and FAR 13 procedures with evaluation on a lowest-priced, technically acceptable basis, and all vendors were required to comply with telecommunications equipment security provisions and demonstrate country of manufacture documentation.
