- Description
- This market survey is issued in accordance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) paragraph 3.2.1.2.1, to obtain information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to conduct a full and open competition. This announcement is NOT A SCREENING INFORMATION REQUEST (SIR) OR REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. This requirement is for maintenance sustainment services and on-site field representative support for Tower Simulation Systems (TSS). The period of performance for this requirement is one year, from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. The FAA currently has a contract with Adacel Systems, Inc. to design, develop, produce, install, test and sustain TSS at various FAA sites utilizing their proprietary MaxSim 4 software. The current contract was awarded in December 2007 and expires December 31, 2012. To successfully perform this requirement and minimize risk to the FAA, potential vendors must have: 1. Capability to create training scenarios using the MaxSim software and the whiteboard tool which is used to create scenarios; 2. Software and hardware maintenance, modification and testing capabilities for TSS; 3. Infrastructure to respond to on-site malfunctions and other problems on an on-call basis; 4. Ability to ensure uninterrupted support and no risk to service for operational TSS; 5. Knowledge of the air traffic environment and access to the proprietary MaxSim software in order to accurately diagnose problems, fix, or enhance the site specific software functionality and scenario development. Interested vendors must respond with a technical statement of experience and proven capabilities of working technically equivalent systems in a similar environment and a proven record of providing timely and efficient support services for Tower Simulation Systems. The documentation must clearly demonstrate that the vendor is qualified and capable of providing the required services. The format of the documentation is at the vendors' discretion. In order to be considered as an acceptable source, vendors must meet all the requirements listed in items 1 through 5 above. Vendors that do not meet all the requirements listed in 1 through 5 above will be determined to be unacceptable and removed from further consideration. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing responses to the announcement. Additionally, information provided in response to this announcement is for informational purposes only and will not be released. If proprietary information is submitted it must be clearly marked in the responses. This announcement shall not be construed as a request for proposal or as an obligation on the part of the FAA to acquire these services. Vendors believing they possess the capability to meet this requirement should respond to this announcement with your firm's capabilities and experience in providing sustainment and on-site field service support of technically equivalent systems or Tower Simulation Systems. Responses should be submitted no later than September 19, 2012, to Curtis Fields via e-mail at curtis.fields@faa.gov. They may also be provided via express mail to the following address: Federal Aviation Administration 600 Independence Ave., SW Washington, DC 20591 Attn: Curtis Fields FOB 10B, Suite 4W150
