AI Contract Overview
The FAA is seeking small business vendors to supply conversion kits designed to upgrade the Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator (ATCBI-5) systems at Airport Surveillance Radar Model 8 (ASR-8) facilities as part of the broader Radar System Replacement Program and Brand-New Air Traffic Control System implementation. The current rotary joints at these sites lack the necessary signal pathways to integrate with the new RSR architecture, specifically to support Weather Signal transmission. The solution requires installation of a specialized kit developed by AJW-1433 that adds an additional signal path, aligning the existing infrastructure with the Mode Select Beacon System (Mode-S) configuration used at compatible ASR-8 sites. The solicitation, identified as AC-26-03729_ASR-8_Weather_Kit, is posted as a sources-sought notice under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, with NAICS code 517810, and is managed by the Department of Transportation through the Franchise Acquisition Services office in Oklahoma City. Responses are due by August 3, 2026, and the anticipated place of performance is also in Oklahoma City. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Raymond Lena, reachable via email at raymond.a.lena@faa.gov. The procurement aims to ensure seamless integration of weather data transmission capabilities into legacy radar systems while supporting small business participation.

Full Description
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 Weather Signal transmission through the rotary joint.
