About Novatel Inc.
Novatel Inc. is a foreign-owned, for-profit Canadian manufacturer of precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) components and subsystems headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. The company has maintained federal vendor registration since June 2001 and specializes in designing and manufacturing advanced positioning and navigation technologies for U.S. federal government agencies. Novatel supplies a range of specialized GNSS receivers, antennas, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and related software solutions that support critical navigation, positioning, and research applications across multiple federal departments and agencies.
Novatel has established a robust federal contracting presence through both prime and subcontract awards, demonstrating deep technical expertise across defense, civilian space, and environmental agencies. Prime contract awards include significant acquisitions from NASA's Shared Services Center for various GNSS receivers and navigation systems such as the PwrPak7-E2 and OEM7700 units, ranging from approximately $12,000 to $28,000 per order, along with a substantial $6.3 million definitive contract for Third Generation Reference Receivers (G-III) awarded in March 2023. Additional prime awards encompass NOAA contracts for TerraSOLID software licenses and GRAFNav/Inertial Explorer software maintenance, an Air Force Research Laboratory purchase order for SPAN systems valued at $299,201, and a Naval Air Warfare Center contract for GPS receivers totaling $144,865. Across these prime awards, no set-asides were designated, indicating competitive or sole-source procurements based on Novatel's specialized capabilities. Subcontract work demonstrates integration of Novatel's products into larger government programs, with notable prime contractors including Sierra Nevada Company, Raytheon Company, Insitu Inc., University of Dayton, KBR Wyle Services, BAE Systems, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and various defense contractors. Subcontract deliverables range from navigation units and antenna enclosures to GPS receivers, cables, and engineering support for classified and unclassified government initiatives, reflecting Novatel's role as a critical supplier within complex defense and space system development programs.
