- Description
- In accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) paragraph 3.2.2.4, the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the basis for the FAA's decision to contract with General Electric Aviation Systems (GE) of Grand Rapids, MI, via single source procedures. This procurement is in support of the FAA ™s Simulation Branch. The award will be for the procurement of B-737 Flight Management Systems (FMS) AVI Communications Software capable of providing an interface between the FMS aircraft specific data busses, and an Ethernet port. GE developed a FMS for use in transport category aircraft; it is used on the B-737 aircraft from the 300 series through the 900 series. The FMS is provided exclusively by GE and contains their proprietary information and trade secrets. Therefore, only GE has an understanding of all of the interfaces that connect to the FMS. The knowledge referred to here is the content of the data being passed between the FMS and external systems. The electrical characteristics of the interfaces are standard, but the data is proprietary. Accordingly, a competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The FAA is not liable for any costs associated with the preparing of a response to this announcement. Any questions or comments about this announcement must be directed to Michael Vazquez at michael.vazquez@faa.gov, no later than 12 p.m. (local time) on September 2, 2014. All inquiries must be submitted in writing. Phone calls will not be entertained.
