GPS Increment 2 GNSS M-Code Receiver JASSM

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base is conducting market research through this Request for Information to identify qualified vendors capable of developing and producing a Global Positioning System Increment 2 Global Navigation Satellite System M-code receiver for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile program. Respondents must submit white paper responses not exceeding 10 pages by May 29, 2026 at 3:00 P.M. CST via email to Mr. Juan Galindo. Key requirements include demonstrating a point-of-departure design at or above Technology Readiness Level/Manufacturing Readiness Level 5 applicable to U.S. Department of Defense tactical missiles, identifying existing programs leveraged, providing current TRL and MRL status, and presenting a funded development plan to achieve required maturity. Respondents must also describe their technical approach for the GPS receiver, identify the status of Increment 2 M-code Application Specific Integrated Circuit certification with the GPS Directorate Security Team, demonstrate an active production line delivering DoD M-code receivers where possible, and provide a notional low-risk development and integration schedule from contract award. Administrative information including company credentials, facility security clearance, and executed Non-Disclosure Agreements must be submitted separately and do not count toward the 10-page limit.

This pre-solicitation notice carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors or award values. The opportunity is open to qualified commercial vendors without foreign participation permitted. While the RFI does not specify a contract value or quantity, the focus on mature technical solutions and active production lines suggests the government is seeking established manufacturers with demonstrated capability in DoD M-code receiver production. This is an informational planning notice only and does not constitute a commitment to procure or a binding contract, meaning the government is using this market research phase to assess vendor capability before proceeding to formal solicitation. The classified nature of GPS security applications and the requirement for facility security clearance indicate this procurement involves sensitive defense technology.
