View moreThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued Special Notice 6973GH-21-R-00089 regarding a planned five-year indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract for the sustainment support of Air Traffic Control Voice Switch Headset and Handsets. Categorized under NAICS 334210 Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing and PSC 5999 Miscellaneous Electrical and Electronic Components, the requirement includes a one-year base period and four option years. The agency intends to award a single source contract to Plantronics, Inc. to maintain standardized equipment currently utilized at more than 500 facilities across the National Air Space.
The scope of work involves providing all supplies and engineering services necessary to support existing voice switching system configurations, including the Voice Switching and Control System, Interim Voice Switch Replacement, and Enhanced Terminal Voice Switch. The FAA determined that a single source selection is necessary under Acquisition Management System authority 3.2.2.4 to ensure immediate integration and interchangeability with existing units. This approach is intended to avoid the costs and delays associated with extensive testing, evaluation programs, and labor union coordination required for alternative products.
