Contract Overview

Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

Show more

The FAA is seeking information from potential vendors capable of supplying ASR-8 and ASR-9 encoders, critical components used in radar antenna systems for azimuth position tracking within the National Airspace System. These encoders, identified by specific part numbers and NSNs, are currently manufactured exclusively by Sensor Systems LLC and are formally approved under FAA configuration management control. Due to the lack of alternative suppliers, qualifying a new source would involve extensive engineering, testing, and production delays that risk prolonged outages at multiple FAA facilities. This market survey is not a request for proposals but rather a tool to assess the availability of qualified competitors and determine if set-asides for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or 8(a) certified firms are feasible. The NAICS code is 334511 with a small business size standard of 1,350 employees. Interested vendors must submit a detailed capability statement including proof of rights to use OEM data, evidence of qualification and manufacturing capability, past performance details, and a copy of ISO 9001:2015 certification. Proof of active registration in SAM.gov is mandatory, and vendors claiming 8(a) or SDVOSB status must provide applicable certification letters. Responses must be emailed to the designated point of contact by August 14, 2026, at 2:00 pm CT and must be clearly marked with the solicitation number 6973GH-26-MS-00006. The FAA will not compensate vendors for costs incurred in preparing submissions. This initiative supports the FAA’s acquisition planning process and aims to identify viable sources to ensure continuity of critical radar system components. Additional support through the DOT Short Term Lending Program is available for eligible small and disadvantaged businesses seeking working capital for transportation-related contracts.

Full Description

Show more

The FAA has a requirement for the acquisition of ASR-8 Encoder (Part Number VOE-35-2795 and National Stock Number 5990-01-085-2056) and ASR-9 Encoder (Part Number VOE-35-2542 and National Stock Number 5990-01-319-5667). Sensor Systems LLC is the only known manufacturer for the ASR-8 and ASR-9 encoders.



These encoders are critical components of the antenna systems, providing azimuth position tracking necessary for proper radar operation.



The encoders manufactured by Sensor Systems, LLC have been placed under FAA AJW-146 Configuration Management Control as an approved and qualified component within the established system configuration baseline.



Alternate sources for these encoders would require initial engineering time, first article production, testing and approval followed by production time. This delay in providing production units could result in extended outages within the NAS due to demand and supply of this asset. As a result, an increased number of NAS facilities could experience extended outages while qualifying an alternate source.



The responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. This is not a screening information request or request for proposal of any kind. The FAA is not seeking or accepting proposals at this time. The responses will be used to develop the source list for this requirement. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing the response to the market survey. Therefore, any cost associated with the market survey submission is solely at the interested vendor’s expense.



The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from all businesses capable of providing the specified equipment.



This market survey is also being conducted in order to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside the competition among small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or 8(a) certified firms.



The NAICS CODE for this requirement will be 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, with a Small Business Size Standard of 1,350 employees.



The FAA intends to review all response submittals to establish the acquisition strategy for this requirement.



To make this determination the FAA requires the following from interested vendors:



1. Capability Statement:


a.          Provide documentation to the FAA showing proof of rights to use the data from the OEM


b.         Clearly demonstrate that the interested vendor is qualified and capable of providing the required components


c.          Identify type of manufacturing provided by your firm,


d.         Identify size and type of products provided by previous contracts (elaborate and provide detailed information and past performance),



2.         Provide a copy of ISO 9001:2015 certification.


3.         Provide a point of contact number and name (either by phone, email or both) for questions.


4.         *Proof of Entity Registration in the System for Award Management (https://SAM.gov)


5.         A copy of the vendor's SBA 8(a) Certification Letter, if applicable or Certification of SDVOSB eligibility, if applicable.



*Per the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS), clause 3.3.1-33 System for Award Management (SAM), paragraph (b)(1) “By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee must be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.”



Please respond by submitting complete capability statement by email to: connie.m.houpt@faa.gov.



All responses to this market survey must be received by August 14, 2026, 2:00 pm CT marked as “6973GH-26-MS-00006 ASR-8/9 Encoders Market Survey response”.

66 - FMS Repair - Control Display Unit
Solicitation # N0038326QF165
The U.S. Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, is seeking a sole source repair for one Control Display Unit with National Stock Number 6605-016040696 and part number 292A860-3, designated as a Critical Application Item under FMS Case SR-P-MAL. Due to the lack of sufficient, accurate, or legible technical data in government possession, the requirement cannot be competitively sourced and must be awarded under an existing Blanket Ordering Agreement to the current approved provider. The item is subject to Free Trade Agreements and the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement, requiring Government Source Approval prior to award, and delays in securing a new approved source would impede timely fulfillment. Proposers not already approved must submit all requested documentation as outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure, or their proposal will be disqualified. The contract includes a 365-day induction period for the initial unit, with the government retaining the right to extend this period by an additional 365 days, and any unused capacity from the first year may be carried forward. Contractors must provide pricing for up to ten total units over the full contract term, including the initial unit, with separate pricing if costs change after the first year. The total contract value for evaluation purposes will be based on the highest proposed unit price multiplied by the maximum quantity. Offers must be submitted by August 5, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to Dana Scott at the provided email address.
