About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson AFB issued a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source to Racelogic USA Corp for a LabSat 4 GNSS Radio Frequency Record and Replay System, with a response deadline of July 6, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. This is a sole-source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i); the Government will consider responses solely to determine whether to conduct competitive procurement, at its discretion.
AFRL/RIZ is acquiring a second LabSat 4 system to support the GNSS Trust Validation System exploratory research project. The system must provide simultaneous stationary and mobile GNSS testing capability and interface with the Government's STIM300 inertial measurement unit. Technical specifications include 60 MHz sampling rate with 12-bit quantization, dual RF channels plus IMU channel, multi-band frequency support (L1, L2, L5), NMEA output, field portability within 1U server rack space, and RF/IMU playback functionality. Market research determined that Racelogic is the sole manufacturer and authorized distributor of LabSat 4 systems; alternative sources would require custom engineering interfaces, introduce synchronization delays exceeding sub-millisecond timing tolerances, and risk incompatibility with existing Government-owned LabSat simulation licenses and software assets.
Responses should be emailed to michael.hornberger.1@us.af.mil with subject line "LabSat 4 (GNSS) Radio Frequency Record and Replay System." Only .PDF, .doc, .docx, .xls, or .xlsx file attachments are permitted; .zip and .exe files will be filtered.
