- Description
- This announcement advises that on January 24, 2007, three prime vendors responded to FAA's ADS-B Screening Information Request(SIR) of November 30, 2006. The prime vendors in alphabetical order are: 1) ITT; 2) Lockheed Martin; and 3) Raytheon. The SIR was designed to determine which vendors or vendor teams understand the ADS-B requirements well enough to proceed in the acquisition process. An approach to a sample coverage volume was required as part of the response. Based on the SIR evaluation, FAA program officials plan to announce in February those who appear most likely to win the service contract. In March, the FAA expects to release a Request for Offer (RFO) to those companies selected from the SIR evaluation. Among other areas, offers will be evaluated based on how vendors or vendor teams expect to implement ADS-B broadcast services and their plans to roll out services into the national airspace system. The awarded contract will be performance based which provides incentives for vendor innovation and alternative business opportunities. The FAA has posted numerous public announcements and has sponsored several industry days regarding the ADS-B program. The public announcements may be accessed on the FAA website at: http://www.faa.gov about FAA contract opportunities current announcements by keyword (ADS-B) include archives. Information related to ADS-B industry days may be viewed at: http://www.ads-b.gov or http://www.adsb.gov. The participation and interest of industry in the ADS-B events is appreciated.
