AI Contract Overview

The Department of the Navy, via Navfac Mid-Atlantic, is seeking a contractor for the replacement of power supply equipment for the Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS) at Runways 10 and 28. The project is necessitated by structural deterioration and excessive wear of primary transformers, junction boxes, power control boxes, and all associated cabling. All work must be completed on or before March 15, 2026, to restore critical flight safety infrastructure. The FLOLS provides essential visual glidepath guidance for tailhook aircraft during emergency landings targeting the E-28 arresting gear wire. Because these systems operate continuously without backup power, the current degradation of the electrical infrastructure significantly increases aviation risks, including the potential for missed wire catches and prolonged airborne emergencies. This project is categorized under NAICS code 238210 and is currently listed as a forecast.

Full Description

Construction or Services Scope, Design, and/or Study The power supply equipment for the Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS) requires replacement. RWYs 10/28 FLOLS Primary power supply is in need of replacement based on structural deterioration. Both sides of the runway show excessive age and wear. This includes the primary transformers, junction boxes, power control boxes, and all cable. Requesting completion on or before 15 MAR 2026. Flight Safety is degraded until repair is complete. Fresnel Lense Optical Landing System (FLOLS) is a trailer mounted system that provide pilots a visual indication of their glidepath in the terminal phase of flight to provide for a safe landing. At Chambers, the FLOLS are at each end of the RWY (10/28) and provide a 3 degree glideslope targeting the E-28 emergency arresting gear wire so a tailhook aircraft can catch the wire during an emergency landing. They operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are removed from the field in high / gusty wind conditions. If electrical infrastructure becomes inoperative, or must be secured due to unsafe conditions, the FLOLS cart will have no electrical power. There are no back-up power supplies for these carts. Impact to operations will be that all inbound aircraft emergencies by tailhook equipped aircraft will have no visual guidance for their approach to catch the arresting gear wire. This will lead to increased risks and hazards to aviation safety, increases in bolters (attempts to catch the wire but aircraft fails to catch it), emergency aircraft remaining airborne for a prolonged period jeopardizing aircrew / passenger lives and potential catastrophic damage to E-28 ar ...
