This Screening Information Request (SIR) is issued in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) 3.2.2.3 Complex Source Selection.

This is an unrestricted competition. Interested parties are invited to respond to this SIR. All interested parties are advised that the FAA will not pay for any information, or any administrative costs incurred that are associated with any response received from industry in response to this SIR. Therefore, any costs associated with a submission from an interested party will be solely at its expense.

Any proprietary or confidential information submitted in response to this SIR should be appropriately marked.

1. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND

The Runway Status Lights (RWSL) system uses surveillance data provided by the Airport Surface Detection Equipment Model X (ASDE-X) and the Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC) systems to reduce the chance of runway incursions and certain classes of runway accidents. RWSL automatically communicates directly to pilots and vehicle operators without demanding the attention of an air traffic controller.

RWSL consists of two subsystems: the RWSL Processor (RP) and the Field Lighting System (FLS). The RP analyzes and provides real time airport surface operations, determining runway status based on surveillance data. The FLS portion of the system provides the physical interface indicating runway status directly to pilots and vehicle operators, thereby increasing situational awareness. This SIR is for the sustainment of the RWSL FLS only.

This SIR is for the hardware, software, and services the Contractor must provide for component design and development and to support testing, installation, integration, and configuration of the FLS into the legacy RWSL system to satisfy the specific requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW) and each Delivery Order. The FLS components addressed in this SIR are Individual Light Controller (ILC), Master Light Controller (MLC), Constant Current Regulators (CCRs), Lighting Computer (LC) and the CCR Controller (CCR-C).

2. CONTRACT TYPE & PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The FAA contemplates award of an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract resulting from this SIR, consisting of a five (5) year base period and five (5) one-year option periods for a total of ten (10) years, if all options are exercised.

The FAA intends to make one award under this Solicitation. The FAA reserves the right to make no award if such action is determined to be in the FAA's best interest.

3. SET-ASIDE DETERMINATION & NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE

This procurement is not a small business set aside. The principal NAICS code for this requirement is 335139 - Electric Lamp Bulb and Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing.
