- Description
- In accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration Acquisition Management System (FAA AMS) paragraph 3.2.2.4, Single Source Selection Procurement Process, Subpart 3.2.2.4.1.2, the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the FAA's intent to contract with a selected firm using single source procedures. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to award a contract to JVN Communications, Inc., Absecon, New Jersey to provide the Air Traffic Organization - Terminal Field Operational Support (ATO-TFOS) with FAA Inter-facility Radar Simulator (FIRS) Platform upgrades to existing Stand-alone Inter-facility Radar Simulator (SIRS) and Rack-mount Inter-facility Radar Simulators (RIFRS) used in Standard Terminal Automation Radar System (STARS) and Common Automated Radar Terminal System (CARTS) air traffic control test laboratories. These upgrades include servers and/or standalone processors, user licenses and training of Simulation Driver Radar Recorder (SDRR) Graphical Scenario Generation Tool (GSGT), Random Access Plan Position Indicators (RAPPI) Airspace Visual Display (AVID), Inter-facility Shadow (IFShadow) and JVN Flight Data Input/Output (JFDIO) platforms. JVN Communications Inc. owns intellectual property rights to all FIRS applications and device drivers. FIRS was developed by JVN Communications, Inc. to perform and support Automation Radar Tracking Systems (ARTS). FIRS is also used at test systems located within the William J. Hughes Technical Center and Operational Support Facilities (OSF) within the FAA National Airspace System (NAS). FIRS provides a Graphical User Interface-based presentation that accelerated the development and accuracy of test scenarios by providing a visual presentation that can be validated against test expectations during scenario development. It accepts inputs scenarios from STARS ATCoach and CARTS Enhanced Target Generator and exports them to Simulation Driver Radar Recorder input files that can be used to test the system in near-real-time environments. These FIRS characteristics allow the OSF's to produce and deliver error free air traffic control software. A competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. If your firm does not agree with this single source determination, please provide evidence of your firm's capabilities and experience in providing the above required work, and the FAA will evaluate this accordingly. All responses to this announcement must be directed to Michael Vazquez, not later than 1:00 p.m. local time, July 11, 2011. Responses shall be sent via e-mail to michael.vazquez@faa.gov
