- Description
- The Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC), Alpena, MI 49707-8125 herby formally announces the intent to award a firm-fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis to Systems Atlanta, Inc (SAI). This is an upgrade and replacement of equipment that has met the end of its projected life cycle. The equipment and software required are (1) SAIs Information Display/Dissemination System (IDS5) software on a pre-configured workstation hardware platform (Air Force nomenclature is Airfield Automation System (AFAS); (2) SAIs IDS5 interface software for the Starcaster Digital Automated Terminal Information Service (D-ATIS); ELO touch Monitors (19) and associated supported. The total solution is required at the Alpena CRTC control tower and Radar Approach Control (RAPCON). The proposed contract action is for Non-Developmental, commercially available equipment/software with incidental installation services for which the Air Force intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. This acquisition is a follow-on effort to Purchase Order DAHA20-03-P-9007 for the original purchase of the IDS5 system. The IDS5 systems capabilities include the ability to reduce controller workload by consolidating multiple segregated displays and control systems into one single focal point for data access, a key feature of the IDS5 is the ability to directly interface with AF weather equipment and display critical weather information used by ATC to formulate manual broadcasters of weather information to aviators using legacy ATIS equipment. The task of manually formulating and broadcasting ATIS messages becomes especially demanding during inclement or rapidly changing weather conditions since ATC must always ensure the most current weather information is continuously and accurately relayed to pilots. This system also seeks to further reduce ATCs workload while simultaneously enhancing flight safety by automating ATIS message broadcasts through purchase and installation of SAIs IDS5 Starcaster ATIS interface software, in conjunction with purchase and installation of the Starcaster D-ATIS and associated peripherals on a common IDS5 workstation hardware platform, which is the only method for achieving the desired level of automation due to SAIs proprietary design of both IDS5 and the IDS5 Starcaster ATIS interface software. Acquisition of touch monitors to replace previously installed display monitors used with IDS5 will complete this system upgrade and replacement. Providing touch screen monitors is to replace current touch screen monitors used by the ATC staff. Questions may be directed by E-Mail. PHONE CALLS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
