Description

NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE IN WRITING AND EMAILED TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER. CONTACT INFORMATION BELOW. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Flight Inspection Services (FIS) is conducting this Market Survey/Request for Information (RFI) for planning purposes to meet a requirement to upgrade the avionics suites currently installed in the FAA ™s three (3) Bombardier CL-601 aircraft. The FAA is requesting a rough order of magnitude (ROM) for the cost, systems/equipment, and time necessary to accomplish the upgrade and obtain approval for required Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) necessary to make these aircraft flight ready (See Attachment A). This modification will upgrade the current avionics suite and equipment (currently a 1995 version similar to that found on the Lear Jet 60 standard avionics suite configuration) to an FAA and ICAO 2020 compliant aircraft avionics suite configuration in addition to meeting all 2020 ADS-B Out mandates and must include the following avionics systems: Future Air Navigation (FANS) 1/A with Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) R3 Global Positioning Systems (GPS) “ Install Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capable GPS Flight Management System (FMS) “ Introduction of Required Navigation Performance (RNP) AR 0.3 capability Weather Radar System “ Multi-scan Weather Radar ATC Transponder System “ Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B DO-260B) The FAA is open to all upgrades that provide the aircraft with the mandated 2020 avionics capabilities and requirements to enable them to fly anywhere in the world. The FAA does prefer that a proposed upgrade is based on the ProLine 21 Avionics Suites with Advanced Avionics capability similar to that called out in Service Bulletins 605-34-019 and 605-00-003 Rev. 11; based on efficiencies from fleet standardization of aircraft systems. The most critical estimate is for the cost and time it will take to complete the upgrade on the first aircraft, taking into consideration the following Cost of engineering Time and cost of de-installation of old systems--taking out old wiring and installation of new cabling harness Time and cost to install the new equipment Time and cost of systems integration of the remaining old systems that are required to work with the newly installed avionics equipment/systems, and Time and cost to obtain the required certifications and STCs to have the first aircraft flying fully certified. In addition to the Learjet 60 Avionics system installed on the FAA ™s CL-601 aircraft, the FAA has added additional modifications to the aircraft that may be impacted by the requirement to upgrade. Some of the systems below will require the vendor to remove and replace with new updated avionics equipment/systems; new wiring; and cabling harness. Other system listed below will stay on the aircraft but will require integration to work with the newly installed avionics equipment and systems. A list of these supplemental modifications is shown below. Those marked with (**) are systems that will stay on the aircraft after modification and may be required to interface with the new avionics systems to be installed: **Passenger Oxygen Systems -- SA5940SW thru Rev 01 **AVIAC Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Control Systems -- ST00210WI thru Rev.

The information requested at this time is for planning purposes only and for the development of a source list. The FAA needs sound cost and time estimations on the effort it will take to bring the FAA ™s Challenger 601 aircraft (22 years old or older) to sustain flying another 10 to 15 years; and, meets both FAA and ICAO avionics standards. As a part of this Market Survey, we ask interested vendors to complete Attachment A to this survey. The information needs to be provided as a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM). This form requests information on: Cost of non-recurring engineering required for STC preparation and submittal for approval Time and cost of old systems/equipment removal Time and cost for installation of new equipment /Systems wiring and cabling upgraded, and Time and cost to install the new avionics systems/equipment on the aircraft and meet the FAA and ICAO requirements for 2020 flights in the U.S. or anywhere in the world. The information in Attachment A is broken out for the first aircraft (aircraft to be submitted for STC approval) and then follow-on installations of that approved STC on the second and third CL-601 aircraft. Any information provided information will be determined to be proprietary to each vendor if provided with proprietary markings and will only be seen by FAA personnel and will not be released. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and size standards for this effort: NAICSSize Standard 3364111,500 Employees All responses to this market survey must be received by 4:00 p.m. Central (Oklahoma) Time, Friday, October 14, 2016. The FAA prefers that all submittals, including attachments, be submitted electronically to the following: Email: kathleen.d.islas@faa.gov If email is your method of submission, please include "MARKET SURVEY RESPONSE: Bombardier Challenger 601 Aircraft Upgrade of Advanced Avionics IAW FAA and ICAO 2020 Standards in the subject line of your email.
