1. Introduction/Purpose:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has identified the need to modernize the Airport Surveillance Radar b Model 9 (ASR-9) Data Communication Equipment (DCE). This market survey is issued in accordance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) Section 3.2.1.2.1. The purpose of this market survey is for the Government to gain an understanding of the marketplace to identify large and small businesses capable of providing the subject requirement. Interested offerors are encouraged to respond to this market survey in accordance with the instructions herein.
Due to obsolescence issues, legacy serial synchronous data modems and modem switching control equipment are being replaced with Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS)/Modified COTS Internet Protocol (IP) based equipment. Two of the five elements of the DCE modernization effort are applicable to this market survey.
The DCE Modernization effort from a vendor perspective consists of mechanical and electronic assembly work, as well as, procuring, grouping, and packaging into two kits (Base Installation Kit and Remote Installation Kit). A b kitb is defined as an assembly consisting of multiple components/parts that, when assembled and integrated as a unit, meet specific physical, functional and performance parameters. The vendor is anticipated to procure ancillary parts to include modules and sub-assemblies, perform mechanical and electronic assembly, package into kits, and ship them to the FAA Logistics Center after FAA approval of First Article units. The use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components will be required to the maximum extent practicable. This market survey announcement applies to the following two (2) kits:
1. Local Installation Base Kit: 140 each
2. Remote Installation Base Kit: 174 each
2. Incumbent Contractor:
