AI Contract Overview

The Air Force has issued a Special Notice to conduct market research aimed at gauging industry interest and capabilities related to the development of a GPS M-Code simulator. This notice is for informational and planning purposes only and is not a solicitation or a government commitment for future contracts. The key objective is to support an upcoming Program Research & Development Announcement (PRDA) associated with the Global Positioning System Joint Program Office’s Modernized User Equipment project. The government is seeking to acquire a simulator capable of generating M-code Signal In Space in compliance with specific interface control documents, with the Advanced GPS Navigation Simulator currently being the only known device meeting these requirements. Responses are requested in the form of a Statement of Capability by February 26, 2003, detailing technical specifications, estimated costs, delivery schedules, technical support, and relevant experience, including company information such as size and ownership status. Small businesses are particularly encouraged to participate. The contract’s anticipated period of performance extends through mid-fiscal year 2005, aligning with the planned award of the M-Code User Equipment Engineering and Development contract, by which time certified simulators should be available to support this program. The government will not reimburse costs associated with preparing responses. All inquiries should be directed to the designated contracting officer, Carol Laechelt, at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. This market research effort serves as a preliminary step to ensure that capable industry partners are identified and prepared to meet the technical and logistical needs of the GPS Modernized User Equipment initiative.

Full Description

This is a Special Notice in support of market research being conducted by the Air Force to determine interest and capabilities of industry. This notice is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation, or a synopsis of a solicitation, or a commitment on the part of the government to later publish a solicitation. The government will not reimburse the costs of preparing or submitting a response to this notice. Any information submitted in response to this notice is strictly voluntary. Any questions should be submitted to the contracting officer. The government is anticipating the release of a Program Research & Development Announcement (PRDA), which will include an M-Code receiver study for the Global Positioning System (GPS) Joint Program Office (JPO) Modernized User Equipment (MUE) project. In order to support this study, a M-code simulator is needed for this PRDA effort by September 2003. The government is considering providing to the awardees a GPS M-code Simulator capable of providing a M-code Signal In Space simulation in accordance with ICD-GPS-700 and ICD-GPS-200C. The only simulator currently known to be able to provide this capability is the Advanced GPS Navigation Simulator (AGNS). The MUE PRDA contract Period of Performance is anticipated to end in Mid-Fiscal Year 05. The M-Code User Equipment Engineering and Development contract is anticipated to be awarded in Mid-Fiscal Year 05 and the government desires the ability for industry to provide certified GPS M-code simulators to the M-code User Equipment industry base by that time. Interested parties should submit a Statement of Capability and date of simulator availability for GPS JPO certification NLT COB 26 February 2003. The Statement of Capability should be a maximum of 10 pages, single sided, and use a typeface no smaller than 10 points. The Statement of Capability should outline the following: Technical specifications, Estimated unit cost per simulator, Estimated schedule and timeline for delivery, Estimated cost for technical support, Experience and familiarity with GPS signal simulator systems, and Proven capabilities in development and test. All respondents must supply the following: Company name, address, CAGE code, point of contact (POC) for information, size of business, US or foreign owned. Point of Contact: SMC/CZK Carol Laechelt, 2420 Vela Way, Suite 1467, El Segundo, CA 90245-4659, +1 (555) 000-0000, contact@example.gov. Small Business companies are encouraged to participate.
