The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a $106,465,102.65 multiple-award indefinite delivery contract, designated as the "GNAS Battery System Equipment and Replacement" program, to Applied Power Services LLC, a small business based in Watkins, Colorado. The contract supports the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) initiatives and allows the FAA to efficiently issue task orders for the supply, replacement, and repair of battery systems at FAA National Airspace System (NAS) facilities nationwide. The contracted products and services include commercial off-the-shelf flooded cell and valve regulated lead acid batteries, battery racks, monitors, uninterruptible power supplies, and associated accessories. Through this IDV, Applied Power Services provides task orders for battery equipment purchases, installations, and related services at various FAA facilities across the United States and its territories. The contract work is critical to maintaining reliable power infrastructure for air traffic control, navigation, and communication systems, such as VHF omnidirectional ranges, radar-controlled landing systems, air route surveillance radars, and terminal Doppler weather radars.
The FAA has issued multiple delivery orders under this IDV to Applied Power Services, with a combined ceiling value of over $250,000. These task orders cover the procurement and installation of battery equipment to support the BIL DC Systems initiatives at FAA facilities in Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, and other locations. The work includes replacing and upgrading battery systems for VHF omnidirectional ranges, radar-controlled landing systems, air route surveillance radars, airport surveillance radars, and other critical air traffic control infrastructure. While the majority of the task orders do not utilize set-aside designations, the parent IDV contract is a total small business set-aside, demonstrating the FAA's commitment to working with specialized small business providers like Applied Power Services to maintain the nation's aviation power systems.
