Primary Crash Alert System Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 27 SOCONS LGC at Cannon AFB, New Mexico, has issued a notice of intent to sole source the acquisition of a Primary Crash Alert System to TC Communications. This requirement covers the procurement of fiber optic phone and analog extenders, including specific part numbers TCRM191R-01-01-PP, TC1901R-L1ST-2-12, and TC1901S-L1ST-2-12. The acquisition is intended to resolve an existing system outage at Cannon AFB, as utilizing components from a different manufacturer would result in equipment incompatibility and increased response times for in-flight emergencies.

The specialized hardware includes a 4U 19-inch mux card cage for rack-mount cards with dual power cards, alongside rack-mount and stand-alone fiber optic telephone/analog extenders. These components feature 1300nm single-mode fiber support, FXO/FXS interfaces, and built-in dry contact relays for external alarm and ringer connections. The system is designed to extend telephone or 2/4-wire analog 600-ohm links via fiber while maintaining PBX and key system compatibility and providing voice bandwidth for toll-quality sound.

This procurement is categorized under NAICS code 334210 for Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing and PSC 6020 for Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies and Harnesses. The notice was published on May 19, 2026, and includes one attachment titled "DF - Under SAT Single Source - PCAS CO Signed.pdf." Responses regarding this special notice are due by May 22, 2026, and should be directed to the point of contact, Peter Iannuzzo.
