    The Joint Service System Management Office (JSSMO) outlines a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Global Positioning System (GPS) User Equipment (UE) System Support from January 23, 2026, to January 22, 2031. This initiative is managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) and aims to enhance navigation and timing capabilities for Department of Defense (DoD) platforms through modernization and support services. Core tasks include strategic planning, program execution, sustainment support, and integration of assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems. Contractor responsibilities encompass managing various acquisition strategies, conducting trade studies, and supporting logistics to ensure fleet readiness. Specific duties also include cybersecurity risk management, engineering support for new technologies, and conducting assessments of manufacturing processes. A primary focus is integration with DoD weapon systems, enhancing reliability amid evolving threats. The document emphasizes the need for a Quality Control Plan, regular status reports, and adherence to government standards for performance tracking. The overall goal is to ensure responsive, secure navigation capabilities while supporting the warfighter's needs effectively and sustainably.
    This document outlines the requirements for a government Request for Proposal (RFP) focused on providing senior program management and acquisition support services. Key sections detail specific tasks such as project management, sustainment engineering, and integration support for military platforms, with particular emphasis on positioning, navigation, and timing technologies (PNT). Contractors are instructed to reference corresponding paragraphs in their responses and demonstrate relevant experience, detailing capabilities that meet or exceed specified tasks. The scope also encompasses areas like cybersecurity, logistics support analysis, and manpower estimation. Emphasis is placed on strategic planning, configuration management, and technical support, underscoring the need for comprehensive documentation and advocacy for acquisition strategies. This RFP aims to ensure that contractors possess the necessary expertise to effectively support the program's operational goals while adhering to federal criteria for capability assessment.
    The Air Force Position, Navigation, and Timing Program Office (PNT PO) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources for Subject Matter Expert (SME) consulting services related to the development of PNT capabilities. The sought services include surge support across all acquisition lifecycle phases, emphasizing contracting, acquisition studies, assessments, and cost analyses. Work primarily will take place near Robins AFB, GA, and Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, but will also extend to other DoD locations as necessary. Respondents are asked to submit a capabilities statement detailing their qualifications, company information, and past performance, particularly in PNT consulting and support services. The contract is envisioned as a Firm Fixed Price, Time and Materials, or Cost-Reimbursable No-Fee type with a potential duration of one base year plus four options. The scope encompasses a variety of support services targeting GNSS systems and assured PNT efforts, including acquisition planning, test and evaluation support, and cybersecurity. Importantly, this document serves as a market research tool rather than a formal RFP, aiming to gather information for developing future solicitation strategies within the context of federal procurement processes.
