The jackscrews being acquired with this purchase are needed to move the antennas in the Azimuth (east-west) and elevation (up-down) directions so the antennas can be pointed to the correct satellite in the sky. Extremely precise movement is required.
Thomson Linear is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the required jackscrews and is the only manufacturer capable of manufacturing the jackscrews to the specifications required without needing to have an existing operable jackscrew sent out as the template for a brand-new fabrication.
This announcement is issued to advise interested parties of the FAA's intent to issue an award valued in excess of $350,000. If your firm does not agree with this brand name determination, please provide evidence of your firm's capability and experience in providing the supplies and services outlined herein and the FAA will evaluate by e-mail to the Contract Specialist, Leslie Bolton, no later than 3:00 P.M. (CST), August 3rd, 2026.
