The ASIS II processes and/or buffers radar data for use by external users, such as air traffic control computers. The ASIS II card provides six (6) buffered data paths on its output. Each path consists of up to five (5) channels of data. The processor can produce four (4) channels of serial data along with one Ethernet channel. The ASIS II can also detect input channel failures and automatically switch in spare channels. A full-duplex high speed channel supports Ethernet or EIA-530 communications. The ASIS II CCA is used within the Digital Remote SCIP Replacement (DRSR) and has a dual functionality that is automatically recognized by firmware code that resides on the CCA to either provide the functionality of an ASIS II CCA or an ASIS III CCA depending on what slot the CCA is inserted into. For the purposes of this procurement, only the ASIS II designation will be used because the dual functionality that occurs on a software / firmware level may cause confusion. The ASIS II CCA is a custom designed circuit card assembly built to FAA specifications. As an assembly this CCA is considered non-complex. The ASIS II CCA is an integral component of the DRSR. The FAA has determined that, in order to maintain and sustain the operational capability of the aforementioned system, the FAA will need to procure an additional 270 ASIS II CCAs (First Article = 20 units, Production quantity = 250 units). 2. Period of Performance 380 calendar days from Contract Award 3. Set-Aside or not Set-Aside This procurement is a small-business set-aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334418. The small business size standard as defined by the Small Business Administration is the following: For NAICS codes based on annual receipts, the annual average receipts for the last three fiscal years cannot exceed N/A. For NAICS codes based on the number of employees, the average number of employees over the last twelve-month period cannot exceed 750 . 4.
