GPS Increment 2 GNSS M-Code Receiver JASSM

The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin AFB, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "GPS Increment 2 GNSS M-Code Receiver JASSM" to conduct market research for a mature, technically capable vendor to develop and produce a GPS Increment 2 Global Navigation Satellite System M-code receiver for integration with the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM). This non-binding sources-sought notice posted in March 2026 seeks inputs from qualified organizations with technology readiness levels at or above TRL/MRL 5 and preferably possessing an active DoD M-code production line. The Government is particularly interested in vendors who have progressed with M-code ASIC certification and can provide a low-risk development schedule covering key milestones like System Requirements Review, Preliminary Design Review, and Critical Design Review, along with plans for testing, certification, and production readiness. Respondents must submit a concise white paper (maximum 10 pages) by May 29, 2026, via email to the designated contracting officer, Juan Galindo. Submissions must be in approved digital formats and accompanied by administrative data including business size, socioeconomic status, facility security clearance (at Secret level or higher), and proprietary data marking. The RFI enforces strict controls on foreign ownership and requires execution of NDAs or declaration of non-disclosure agreements with support contractors to safeguard proprietary information. Although formal FAR contract clauses and evaluation criteria are absent as this is not a solicitation, the government references compliance with DoD Technology Readiness Assessment Guidebook and Manufacturing Readiness Level Deskbook standards to assess technical maturity. There is no contract value or binding commitment associated with this RFI; instead, the information gathered will inform potential future solicitations and acquisition strategies for the GPS Increment 2 M-code receiver integrated into the JASSM program, with performance expected at Goulds, Florida.
