Legacy Radar Electronics and Cabinet Disposition

The Federal Aviation Administration is seeking qualified vendors to participate in the disposition of legacy radar electronics and cabinets as part of its National Airspace System modernization initiative, targeting the removal of approximately 612 legacy radar systems across 386 sites nationwide and in U.S. territories including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas. This effort supports the Radar System Replacement contract by clearing space in radar shelters for new equipment, with specific systems such as ASR-8, ASR-9, ASR-11, Mode-S, ATCBI-5, ATCBI-6/6M, and MSSR being affected. The scope involves the safe removal, transportation, and disposal of line replaceable units including circuit card assemblies, power supplies, cooling systems, sheet metal components, and waveguide elements, while excluding external components like antenna pedestals and towers. Strict handling protocols are mandated for hazardous and regulated materials such as tritium-containing components and dielectric oil-contaminated items, requiring use of licensed transporters, certified disposal facilities, and full compliance with DOT 49 CFR, EPA 40 CFR, RCRA, and NRC regulations, as well as OSHA standards for general industry and construction. All work must be performed only after FAA verification of de-energized, locked-out, and tagged-out conditions, with contractors responsible for demarcating retained equipment and ensuring zero discrepancies in property accountability through detailed documentation and inventory reconciliation. The procurement is currently in a sources-sought phase, with a tight response deadline of June 12, 2026, for expressions of interest submitted electronically to the designated point of contact. The FAA may establish a limited competition pool based on responses, and no formal solicitation may be issued before award. Vendors must provide their SAM.gov UEI code, company information, relevant experience, capabilities, certifications, and details on subcontracting plans, technical approaches for hazardous material handling, regulatory compliance history, logistics expertise—particularly for remote locations—and existing GSA schedule eligibility. Performance will span from contract award through July 31, 2028, with key deliverables including an initial Integrated Master Schedule within five days of award and a full resource-loaded schedule within 45 days, along with weekly updates, monthly progress reports, Site Execution Checklists due within ten days of award, and Disposition Documentation submitted within ten days after demobilization from each site. Contractors must adhere to FAA facility security protocols including badge acquisition, personnel clearances, and escorted
