- Description
- STATEMENT OF WORK WP-3D Aircraft Multifunction Display The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), located at MacDill AFB, FL intends to issue a solicitation for Multifunction Display System for use in the NOAA WP-3D Orion aircraft which will satisfy mission requirements. Background The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) instruments, maintains, and operates aircraft in support of a variety of meteorological and oceanographic research projects. The need is for a multifunction display (MFD) system designed to improve flight safety, mission situational awareness, and increase long term sustainability of the NOAA WP-3D research aircraft. The MFD will interface to existing and future aircraft avionics systems such as a Terrain Avoidance Warning System (TAWS), Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), weather radar, and navigation systems, as well as scientific mission systems such as research radar systems, mission data displays, camera streaming video, and scientific data system based data displays. The MFD units are to be located on the flight instrument panel and also at the Navigator station. Specifications Attached to this notice are the specifications for which NOAA is seeking sources that can provide the MFD system. This is a request for Sources only and is not a request for quote or an invitation for bid, nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract.

NOAA is interested in vendors that can provide a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) MFD system with the capabilities outlined in the specifications. Although there may be some software customization and custom physical installation in NOAA's unique aircraft, the basic hardware, processing software, and user interface should be a proven solution with commercial (FAA) and/or military (US DOD) certification/qualification. It is the intent of this Sources Sought notice to obtain company information and company capabilities for providing such equipment. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. All responses received within 15 days after date of publication of this request for sources and information will be considered by the Government.

Potential vendors should provide information about the MFD system it may propose, including name/model number, publicly available technical specifications, and information about certification/qualification and/or examples of existing aircraft installations. Only affirmative responses to this notice will be evaluated to the extent necessary for the Government to determine whether it is feasible to conduct a competitive acquisition considering parts, cost of testing, standardization, consistency, and price.
