Request for Information: Multi-Source PNT UE

Wat de aanbestedende dienst vraagt

Amendment 1: The purpose of this amendment is to change the response date from 16 November 2027 to 16 November 2026. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION MULTI-SOURCE PNT UE 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for information and planning purposes (market research). This RFI does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotations (RFQ)) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Furthermore, the Government is not, at this time, seeking proposals and will not accept any unsolicited proposals. Respondents are advised the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the responding party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned. Due to the operational sensitivity of the Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) missions, any future acquisition resulting from this market research will require strict adherence to Department of War (DoW) and Department of Defense (DoD) security, cybersecurity, and supply chain integrity standards. Consequently, while direct responses to this RFI must remain entirely unclassified (reach out to the government contacts below for information on classified submissions), respondents are required to demonstrate their organizational posture regarding facility clearances, information safeguarding, and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) supply chain compliance. For the purposes of this market research, the anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for manufacturing global positioning systems (GPS) and related equipment is 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) with a Small Business Size Standard of $44.0 Million, and the primary Product Service Code (PSC) for Global Positioning Systems (GPS) hardware is 5825 (Radio Navigation Equipment, Except Airborne). For specialized, airborne GPS or radar navigation, the code is typically 5826. System-level R&D and engineering services for GPS are usually categorized under codes like R425 (Engineering Services) or AC13 (R&D—Defense System: Electronics). 2.0 BACKGROUND With advances in autonomous systems and guided munitions, the force that can best synchronize its activities at a single point in time and space wields a potent strategic advantage. In the future operating environment, therefore, the Joint Force will increasingly depend on resilient, reliable, and precise position, navigation, and timing (PNT) data to execute combat operations. As such, the Space Force is required to deliver global continuous coverage with stringent civil and military position and timing requirements to assure safety and mission success. This includes at least 88% of the constellation being operationally available more than 98% of the time. Likewise, a thinking adversary will make focused and deliberate efforts to deny access to this capability, leveraging a growing suite of threats including electromagnetic weapons, cyberspace attacks, and kinetic weapons. The challenge today is that, while satellite navigation (SATNAV) through the Global Positioning System (GPS) is foundational to U.S. military operations, critical infrastructure, and global commerce, the current architecture must adapt to evolving jamming and spoofing threats. Additionally, the space and ground segments must be modernized and hardened against physical attack. To build readiness for the future operating environment, therefore, the Space Force will pursue a comprehensive navigation warfare (NAVWAR) strategy that emphasizes resilience, technology…
