AI Contract Overview
The Federal Aviation Administration is soliciting the procurement of ATCBI-5 Encoder Modification Kits to support the Radar System Replacement Program. These kits are required to modify Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator configurations at Airport Surveillance Radar Model 8 facilities, specifically by adding a signal path to the existing rotary joints to ensure compatibility with the Brand-New Air Traffic Control System architecture. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, and equipment to fabricate these kits, which include specific components such as Heliax upper cables, connectors, surge arrestors, and encoder cabling. The contract structure consists of two primary components: a single first article verification unit and an option for up to thirty production units. The first article unit must be delivered within 90 days of the order receipt, after which the FAA has 30 days to perform a visual inspection and provide approval. Upon approval, production units must be delivered within 180 days. The contract mandates strict adherence to technical standards, including NEMA WC 26-2008 for cable fabrication, MIL-STD-129R for marking, and ANSI-ESD S20.20 for electrostatic discharge handling. Packaging must comply with Provision 61 and MIL-DTL-12000K. Administrative requirements include electronic invoicing via the Delphi portal and compliance with the Buy American Act.

Full Description
1. BACKGROUND
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has identified a requirement to procure conversion kits to support modifications to the Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator (ATCBI-5) configuration at Airport Surveillance Radar Model 8 (ASR-8) facilities as part of the Brand-New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) implementation under the Radar System Replacement (RSR) Program.
The rotary joints currently installed at ASR-8/ATCBI-5 sites do not provide the number of signal paths required to support integration with the RSR architecture. To achieve compatibility, the existing rotary joints must be converted to the configuration utilized at ASR-8 sites equipped with the Mode Select Beacon System (Mode-S). This conversion requires the installation of a kit developed by AJW-1433, which adds an additional signal path to accommodate the encoders used in the ASR-8 rotary joint.
