GPS/IMU Sensor Module Supply and Integration

The contract seeks the supply and integration of a high-precision GPS and IMU module designed for sub-centimeter direct georeferencing of hyperspectral data collected via drone platforms. The system must support real-time kinematic (RTK) and post-processed kinematic (PPK) correction methods to ensure extreme positional accuracy, and be fully compatible with existing drone and sensor systems to enable seamless data collection workflows. The module must deliver robust performance under operational conditions, with attention to synchronization, data timestamping, and environmental resilience to maintain precision across varying terrains and flight conditions. Integration must include hardware installation, software interface development, and calibration procedures to ensure compatibility with hyperspectral imaging payloads and flight control systems. The subcontractor is responsible for delivering a turnkey solution that meets rigorous technical specifications for accuracy, reliability, and operational readiness. Responses are due by May 19, 2026, and the work falls under NAICS code 334290 for other electronic component manufacturing, with Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge serving as the contracting entity. Performance is expected to occur in alignment with LSU’s research and data acquisition objectives, though the specific location of deployment is not detailed.
