Description: Title: MARKET SURVEY- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION / Mode Select (Mode S) Market Survey Announcement Name: Contracting Officer (to be assigned) Organization: AAQ-210 Region: HQ - FAA Headquarters (Washington, DC) Phone Number: 202-267-0773 E-Mail: Craig.Mayo@faa.gov Date Posted: 10/15/2015 Archiving Date: 11/16/2015 Solicitation/Contract No.: to be assigned Phase: Complex Noncommercial Procurement Method: Market Survey Classification Code: 58 “ Communication, detection, & coherent radiation equipment NAICS Code: 334 “ Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing / 334511 “ Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing Posting (brief abstract): This Market Survey is issued in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) Section 3.2.1.2.1. Background The FAA currently operates a number distinct secondary radar systems for terminal and en route aircraft surveillance in the nation ™s airspace. These secondary radar systems are the Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator Model 5 and 6, and the Mode Select Beacon System (Mode S) Sensor. The Mode S has passed the end of life cycle and has required Service Life Extension Program (SLEPs) to continue operational service. Sustainment and upgrade programs can keep these radars operating in the near to mid-term. For the long term, the FAA recognizes that replacement of these radars is the best option. Approximately 68 Mode S systems will be decommissioned starting sometime after the beginning of 2020. A total of 80 remaining systems to include all En Route domain Mode S systems, 45 core airport Terminal domain systems, 3 mobile systems and 8 support systems. The Next Generation Backup Surveillance Capability (NBSC) Program is currently in the investment analysis phase and is scheduled to begin replacing the remaining secondary radar systems in 2026. Introduction/Purpose The purpose of this Market Survey is to determine whether or not adequate industry competition exists, should the Government proceed with this procurement, and to determine the feasibility for participation by 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. The FAA has a requirement for a comprehensive solution(s) to address several issues of immediate concern impacting the operational readiness, sustainability and maintainability of the Mode S system including but not limited to the following: a.Resolve numerous supportability and maintenance issues that have surfaced over the years since the system was initially fielded in 1987. b.Provide for consolidation of components and functions. c.Consider potential future supportability and maintenance issues. d.Requires the use of COTS and non-proprietary hardware and software unless an exemption or waiver is approved. e.Must encompass the remaining 80 Mode S systems used by the FAA in the National Airspace System (NAS). f.Should be designed to extend the life of the Mode S to at least 2026 by solving current and future supportability issues. g.Project performance period is October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2021. The FAA is seeking different possible approaches and recommendations that take into consideration NBSC and the fact that it might not be in the best interest of the Government or the flying public to keep these high maintenance systems in service until 2026. Nature of Competition The acquisition strategy for the procurement has not been determined at this time; however, unrestricted competition or a set-aside, or a combination of multiple awards will be chosen depending on the responses to the market survey. Accordingly, this Market Survey must not be construed as either a promise to award a contract or an obligation for the Government to provide compensation for information associated with the preparation and submittal of inquiries addressing this Market Survey.
