About this award
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) awarded a $241.5K firm fixed-price purchase order to APS Aerospace Corp for the Memory Access Retrieval System (MARS), effective October 31, 2025. This sole-source contract, awarded without a set-aside designation, provides the NTSB with critical capability to perform chip-level data downloads from severely damaged aircraft flight recorders. MARS complements the NTSB's existing manufacturer-provided equipment and currently supports data recovery from recorders manufactured by L3, Honeywell, and Universal, with plans for expanded manufacturer compatibility. The system represents an independent verification tool essential to the NTSB's Vehicle Recorder Division, enabling the agency to access Cockpit Voice Recorders and Flight Data Recorders during civil aviation accident investigations without relying on external third-party facilities.
APS Aerospace Corp, an Ottawa-based aerospace technology company registered in the System for Award Management through May 2026, specializes in providing advanced software systems and technical solutions to federal aviation agencies. The procurement addresses a mission-critical operational need by ensuring the NTSB maintains investigative independence and continuous capability during transportation accident investigations. The contract performance location is APS Aerospace Corp's facility in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and the contract is scheduled for completion by October 31, 2025.
