The notice specifically involves the 746th Test Squadron's requirement to acquire a specialized solution for integrating with Spirent GSS9000 simulator systems. The procurement seeks a turnkey solution to interface with current GPS simulators, enabling synchronization of live sky Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals. Market research conducted by the government confirmed that Spirent is the only vendor capable of meeting the technical requirements, due to their status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary simulator systems and military interface modules. The procurement will be managed by the AFTC/PZI contracting activity at Holloman Air Force Base.

The anticipated award date is 10 April 2025, with all capability statements, bids, proposals, or quotations due by 8 April 2025 at 1:00 PM MDT. While this is a sole source procurement, all responsible sources may submit documentation electronically to Contract Specialist Brett Moore at brett.moore.6@us.af.mil. The procurement will be issued as a firm-fixed price purchase order under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows for sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 334511 with a small business size standard of 1,350 employees. Spirent Federal Systems Inc. (CAGE: 1VBX4) has been identified as the sole vendor capable of meeting the U.S. Space Force's specific technical requirements for the Standpoint Live Sync Hardware & Software integration.
