- Description
- The purpose of this Market Survey is to improve the Government's understanding of the current marketplace and to identify capable sources. Responses to this Market Survey will be used for informational purposes only to support the development of a strategy for the Federal Aviation Administration�s (FAA�s) contemplated Dedicated Network Telecommunication System (DNTS) acquisition and will not be released. This is not a Screening Information Request or Request for Proposal.� The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Communications, Information and Network Programs (CINP) Group provides life-cycle management for the support and transformation of FAA�s enterprise communications services to meet evolving National Airspace System (NAS) and non-NAS requirements.� The FAA�s Airport Cable Loop System Sustainment program replaces existing on-airport, copper-based, FAA-owned signal/control cable lines that have deteriorated.� Obsolete underground telecommunications cable infrastructure systems are vulnerable to failure and could cause flight delays related to outages. �These cables feed airport surveillance radar, air/ground communications, and navigational systems data and information to the air traffic control tower, and operational and maintenance information to FAA-staffed facilities.� With fiber replacing the aging copper infrastructure, there is a need for end equipment Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Dedicated Network Telecommunications Services (DNTS). The planned DNTS acquisition strategy will procure Commercial-Off-The Shelf (COTS) fiber optics multiplexer equipment that meets all requirements as defined in the FAA SONET DNTS Specification (FAA-P-2978d) for the Airport Cable Loop (ACL) Program.� In addition, it will procure program management, training, and logistics support services as described in the draft Statement of Work (SOW).
