About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/PZLEQ) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source purchase order for a LabSat 4 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Frequency Record and Replay System. This special notice, posted on December 17, 2025, contemplates awarding the contract to Racelogic USA Corp under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The procurement falls under NAICS Code 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) and PSC Category 6625 (Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments). This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notice of the government's intention to procure this equipment through a single source justification based on the unique capabilities of the specified vendor.
The purpose of this procurement is to acquire a LabSat 4 system to support the Trust Validation System project, which requires a GNSS Radio Frequency record and replay system capable of capturing live sky satellite data in the Continental United States and interfacing with inertial measurement units for synchronized data collection across L1, L2, and L5 frequency bands. Contractors or interested parties must submit responses by December 24, 2025, at 9:00 AM Eastern Time via email to michael.hornberger.1@us.af.mil, with the subject line "LabSat 4 (GNSS) Radio Frequency Record and Replay System." Responses will be considered solely to determine whether the government should conduct a competitive procurement rather than proceed with the sole source award; the final decision to compete this requirement remains entirely within the government's discretion. Interested parties should note that email attachments are restricted to PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, and XLSX formats, as executable and compressed files will be filtered out by the Air Force's email system. While the document does not explicitly restrict participation to any particular class of contractors, the single source justification indicates that Racelogic USA Corp is the sole manufacturer and distributor meeting the specific technical requirements outlined in the Minimum Requirements Document.
