About this opportunity

NASA's Shared Services Center has published a Special Notice for the sole source procurement of one NovAtel PwrPak7-E2 high-speed navigation system. The agency intends to award a contract directly to NOVATEL INC of Calgary, Canada under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority, having determined that NovAtel is the sole provider of this specific equipment. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334511 for navigation and guidance system manufacturing, and the equipment will be delivered to NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. The government plans to acquire this as a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures. Performance will be located at the Armstrong Flight Research Center for the SCHAMROQ F15-D N884NA project.

The primary purpose of this notice is to provide an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities before NASA proceeds with the sole source award. Interested organizations must submit written capabilities and qualifications to the designated point of contact no later than 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on September 22, 2025. The required system specifications are highly specific, including a PwrPak7 single antenna enclosure with OEM7700 and Epson G370N MEMS IMU, GPS+QZSS capabilities, and 20 Hz data output rate. NASA has mandated strict quality compliance requirements including NASA Quality Document Q1-A certification, and delivery must be completed by October 1, 2025. The government will evaluate submitted capabilities solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis, though the final decision remains at the agency's discretion.
