Tender Details

Description

The FAA has a requirement for the acquisition of single-pole, triple-throw (SP3T) switches. The SP3T switch resides in the weather channel between the airport surveillance radar (ASR-9) and the Weather Systems Processor (WSP). SP3T switches control the flow of radio frequency (RF) to the dedicated WSP Receiver. Herley Industries LLC is the original manufacturer of part number 7A11823H01 which is the only approved directional switch to be used in the WSP and ASR-9. Herley no longer manufacturers the SP3T switch. Therefore, High Tech Consultants Inc. (HTCI) has been approved as a manufacturer of the WSP SP3T switch. HTCI is the only approved manufacturer and supplier of this switch.

The FAA has determined it necessary to replenish the existing stock of the single pole, triple throw (SP3T) switches currently deployed as part of the WSP. This procurement will support waveguide switch, NSN 5985-01-484-1800 with a field-wide replacement effort to remove obsolete and non-supportable switches from the field.

The FAA does not have the facilities or expertise to build this equipment internally nor does the FAA own any support documentation to accurately reproduce a form, fit, function alternative. Approving another part would take several years of on-site testing to verify no significant impact to performance as well as require input from FAA Second Level Engineering groups. Due to the immediate need to increase stock and replace the non-supportable switches in the field, the FAA must procure these switches as soon as possible.

The responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. This is not a screening information request or request for proposal of any kind. The FAA is not seeking or accepting proposals at this time. The responses will be used to develop the source list for this requirement. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing the response to the market survey. The...
