The FAA intends to award a single purchase order for eight units of Thomson Linear jackscrews, specifically models 50-BSJ-U, to support the Alaska Satellite Telecommunication Infrastructure system. These jackscrews are critical components required for the precise azimuth and elevation movement of 11-meter satellite antennas, with two variants specified—one with a 106.00 travel length and the other with 71.50 travel—both featuring a 10.66:1 gear ratio, flange base mount, standard threaded rod end, and specialized shaft extensions. Thomson Linear is designated as the sole qualified manufacturer due to its unique capability to produce these components to exacting specifications without requiring an existing unit as a template, making the use of this brand name necessary under FAA acquisition guidelines. The total value of the procurement exceeds $350,000 and is being conducted under a brand name justification per Section 3.2.2.4 of the FAA Acquisition Management System. Interested parties may challenge the brand name determination by submitting documented evidence of equivalent or superior capability by 3:00 P.M. CST on August 3rd, 2026. The solicitation number is AC-26-03139, and all feedback must be directed to Contracting Specialist Leslie Bolton via email. The contract is classified under NAICS code 423840 and falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation’s Franchise Acquisition Services office located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Gilbert Park, the Contracting Officer. Failure to respond by the deadline will be interpreted as concurrence with the FAA’s decision to proceed with the exclusive award to Thomson Linear.
