FAA Emergency Transceiver Replacement

This is a Public Announcement; this is not a request for information, comment or quote. The attached Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for the Contractor to deliver Emergency Transceiver (ET) equipment in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ET Product Specification (FAA-E-7868) in Section J01. The purpose of the ETR contract is to provide emergency air/ground communication capability for air traffic control (ATC) operations during catastrophic failure of the normal radio communication system. Communication failure might be experienced during loss of ATC facility power, or the failure of the inter/intra facility connectivity to the air/ground radio communications equipment. ET also provides emergency radio communication when a facility must be abandoned, e.g., in the event of facility fire, bomb threat, or severe weather. The ET provides the air/ground communication capability during the first critical 60 minutes after these events occur. The ET will replace the existing grab-n-go Transceiver Communications Equipment (TCEs) at all Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCTs), Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON), and Alaskan Flight Service Stations. Scope The ETR contract scope encompasses all necessary equipment, software, documentation, and Contractor services required to replace existing emergency transceivers. Contractor services include warranty and repair, contract and program management, configuration management, integrated logistics support, bar code and asset tracking, support of Government testing activities, development of maintenance/operator training, support of Government spares provisioning and maintenance program and other required services necessary for the implementation, maintenance, and operation of the emergency transceivers. The scope of the ID/IQ contract encompasses acquisition of future emergency communications equipment and/or services required during catastrophic failure of the normal radio communications systems or during emergency facility abandonment. Such additional equipment/services and their associated performance specifications would be determined as these requirements are identified. In addition, the ET equipment, software, and services may be ordered to support Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements, other FAA Program Offices, and other Government agencies, as needed.
