TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Recapitalization

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 BACKGROUND

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers are utilized to provide accurate and secure

Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) service to United States Coast Guard (USCG) cutters and boats. The USCG requires a new GNSS receiver and antenna set to support electronic navigation at sea and Aids to Navigation (AtoN) requirements. The existing GNSS receivers are unable to meet new PNT requirements and the hardware is obsolete and no longer supportable. A complete recapitalization is necessary to ensure the hardware is available to meet requirements. The GNSS recapitalization project seeks to replace the outdated equipment with newer, supportable components to sustain and improve PNT service for the USCG fleet.

1.1.1 Period of Performance (POP)

The estimated POP of this contract is: 31 Aug 2025 – 30 Aug 2030.

1.2 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this specification is to identify and procure marine-grade, GNSS receivers and antennas for use on-board Coast Guard cutters and boats. This effort standardizes the GNSS hardware utilized by the USCG fleet. This specification identifies the requirements of the next generation GNSS receiver and antenna set that will replace legacy hardware.
