Companies

interested in the anticipated RFP should monitor the Federal Business

Opportunities

(FedBizOpps) website at www.fbo.gov for the release of the RFP.

The Government intends to make Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ)

Multiple

Award Contract (MAC) awards as a result of the anticipated RFP. The basic

contracts will

possess ordering periods utilizing firm-fixed-price (FFP) Contract Line Item

Numbers

(CLINs) for GPNTS systems and spares, and cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) CLINs for

engineering services. Contract award is estimated for Q2FY21.

GPNTS receives, processes, and distributes three (3) dimensional position,

velocity,

acceleration, attitude, time and frequency in the formats required by shipboard

user

systems. GPNTS is the single Program of Record (POR) for U.S. Navy ships as

well as

potential U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Military Sealift Command (MSC), and Foreign

Military

Sales (FMS) platforms. GPNTS is designed to accommodate back-fit of current

legacy

PNT systems and forward-fit of new platforms. The GPNTS system was developed

using a

commercial, open-systems architecture approach, to meet user requirements in a

net-

centric Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment. The GPNTS system

incorporates embedded Non-Developmental Item (NDI) military-grade Selective

Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) GPS receivers, and includes anti-jam

GPS

antenna systems. In addition, the U.S. Air Force GPS Directorate is currently

developing

Military Code (M-Code) capable Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE). GPNTS MGUE

integration and test started in FY16, and the GPNTS Program plans to transition

from the

SAASM configuration to M-Code in FY22.
