Radio Navigation Equipment, Except Airborne

Product Service Code (PSC) 5825 covers Radio Navigation Equipment, Except Airborne, which encompasses a wide range of sophisticated communication and navigation technologies used by military, civilian government, and other federal agencies. These systems include tactical radios, GPS receivers, signal processing equipment, navigation sets, and related accessories that enable secure, long-range communication and precise positioning capabilities. The equipment supports critical missions across military branches, air traffic control, maritime operations, and homeland security applications.

The federal contract awards under this PSC category demonstrate substantial investment in advanced radio navigation technologies, with contract values ranging from approximately $1,200 to nearly $29 million. L3Harris Technologies emerged as a dominant prime contractor, receiving multiple high-value awards from agencies like Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Air Force, and Special Operations Command. Most awards were firm fixed-price contracts with performance periods between several months to five years. The majority of awards were not set aside, indicating full and open competition, though some small business set-asides were observed. Typical places of performance included facilities in New York, California, and other states, with some international locations like the United Kingdom.

Federal contract opportunities in this PSC category focused on procuring specialized radio navigation and communication equipment for various government agencies. Notable opportunities included the Air Force's request for StreamCaster radios, the Army's need for GPS receivers and tactical radio systems, and the Department of Agriculture's requirement for GPS tracking devices. Agencies like the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Department of State were seeking brand-name or equivalent products with specific technical requirements. Most opportunities were designated as small business set-asides, particularly under NAICS codes related to communications equipment manufacturing. Performance locations spanned domestic sites in states like Florida, New York, and California, with some international requirements in locations such as the United Kingdom.
