Description

This Market Survey is issued in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) Section 3.2.1.2.1. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a requirement for the acquisition of new replacement antennas for an estimated quantity of 50 High Gain Open Planar Array (HGOPA) Beacon Antennas which are approaching their end of life. The Beacon Antenna replacement candidate should be based on an existing product and a customized mounting kit. The mounting kit is for mounting the array above an existing FAA primary radar antenna sail to transmit and receive beacon signals with the FAA ASR-9 radar system. The purpose of this Market Survey is to determine whether or not adequate competition exists and to determine the feasibility for small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses (SEDB) that are certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program. This requirement is a Service Life Extension Project designed to ensure that the radar system has enough spare parts to cover expected maintenance until at least 2028. See Attachment (1) for technical specifications of the antenna. The specification contained in Attachment (2) is notional only. The HGOPA referenced herein is intended to operate in the Terminal environment mounted on ASR-9 and/or ASR-8 primary antennas that are not enclosed in radomes. The Government anticipates the need for two (2) antennas in 2015, twelve (12) in 2016, eighteen (18) in 2017, and eighteen (18) in 2018. The principle North American Industry Classification System code for this effort is 334511, "Air Traffic Control Radar Systems and Equipment Manufacturing. � The acquisition strategy for the procurement has not been determined at this time; however, either an unrestricted competition or a set-aside will be chosen depending on the responses to the market survey.
