- Description
- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to award a single source purchase order to procure one (1) Model 105 End-fire Glide Slope (EFGS) System. This is a brand specific system manufactured only by WATTS Antenna Company located in Herndon, Virginia. The Contractor will deliver one Model 105 End-fire Glide Slope System. This is a ground-based instrument approach system that provides precision guidance to an aircraft approaching and landing on a runway, using a combination of radio signals to enable a safe landing during instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), such as low ceilings or reduced visibility due to fog, rain, or blowing snow. A glide slope is an independent sub-system which provides vertical guidance to aircraft approaching a runway. A glide slope (GS) antenna array is sited to one side of the runway at the touchdown point and its signal is transmitted on a specific carrier frequency. This fixed price purchase order will be issued for a period of six months in the amount of $377,900. This procurement will be conducted under the guidelines of the FAA Acquisition Management System. This policy allows, when it is in the best interest of the Government, for single source procurement, AMS Policy Section 3.2.2.4. End-Fire antenna is the only antenna approved for NAS deployment which can accommodate terrain where image-type antennas do not work properly. End-Fire is a brand name and there are no substitutions approved for NAS deployment. The procuring office for this contract is the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Navigation Services, Ground Based NAVAIDS and Lighting Systems Group, AJM-322, located at 800 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20591. This announcement is for informational purposes only, not a solicitation/request for proposal. A full and open competition is not available for this procurement. If your firm does not agree with this single source determination, please provide evidence of your firm's capabilities and experience in providing similar services and the FAA will evaluate accordingly. All responses to this announcement must be submitted by 5 p.m. on October 10, 2012, to Jacqueline Haralson, Contracting Officer at jacqueline.haralson@faa.gov.
