Premium Simulation Technical Support Package

The U.S. Department of Transportation, through the Office of the Secretary, is pursuing a sole-source award to Safran Federal Systems Inc. for the Premium Simulation Technical Support Package under solicitation number 1331L26NTIASAFRAN, with a posted date of June 2, 2026, and a response deadline of June 8, 2026. This is not a competitive solicitation but a Notice of Intent to Sole Source, justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to Safran being the only responsible source capable of providing the necessary technical support for the BroadSim T20 GNSS signal generator. The contract is intended to provide one year of the Premium Simulation Technical Support Package, which includes the BroadSim T20 Platform UMS and software upgrades to enable access to multiple GNSS constellations. The primary place of performance is in Boulder, Colorado, with equipment repair services occurring at the manufacturer and returned to the government address. All shipping costs from the repair facility back to the government location are borne by the contractor, and billing is strictly limited to repair costs only, with no reimbursement for freight charges. Any repair work requires prior approval from the Contracting Officer’s Representative via contract modification, and costs must be submitted for review before any work commences. Safran Federal Systems is confirmed as a U.S.-based, FOCI-free entity, authorized to handle both classified and unclassified government projects, and has no authorized resellers. Although no formal evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or detailed invoicing instructions are provided, the government has stipulated that any responses submitted within fifteen days of the synopsis publication will be considered in determining whether competition is warranted, though the award to Safran will proceed absent affirmative, substantiated alternatives.
