8/10/2020: The GPNTS Hardware Production Follow-On RFP has been released.

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), in support of the Program

Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence

(PEO C4I), Communications and GPS Navigation Program Office (PMW/A 170),

releases Request For Proposal (RFP) N00039-20-R-0001 for the follow-on procurement of

Global Positioning System (GPS)-based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Service

(GPNTS) Hardware Production units based on a Government provided Technical Data

Packages (TDPs). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code

assigned to this acquisition is 334511 (size standard 1250 employees). The incumbent

hardware production contractors for GPNTS are Sechan Electronics under contract

N00039-18-D-0008 and Micro USA under contract N00039-18-D-0009. The GPNTS

production follow-on requirement has been set aside for small business.

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

Award Contract (MAC) awards as a result of the 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.

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. 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.

Companies are encouraged to monitor the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps)

website at www.fbo.gov for updates to the RFP.
