IV. DESCRIPTION

1. INTRODUCTION

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)'s Air Traffic Organization (ATO), Power Services Group (PSG) is conducting a Market Survey to ascertain current market conditions and vendor capabilities for a follow-on requirement to furnish Alternative Energy Systems (AES) equipment, such as photovoltaic panels, battery energy storage systems (BESS), Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, hybrid supercapacitors, charge controllers, microgrid controllers, PV array rack systems, and all associated AES cables/connectors supporting National Air Space assets and facilities outlined in the attached Draft Statement of Work (SOW) and Specifications.

2. BACKGROUND

AESE is currently being evaluated for integration in all FAA facilities from small unstaffed facilities to Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC). This contract supports the FAA’s upcoming requirements for AESE integration, and related support services for life cycle Integrated Logistics Support (ILS). The contract will acquire Commercial Off- The-Shelf (COTS) and/or Non-Developmental Item (NDI). This COTS/NDI approach provides the FAA with the most cost-effective and streamlined way to acquire AESE. AES will be designed and installed in grid tied or off grid (island) configurations, enhancing power reliability and resiliency to critical National Airspace Systems (NAS).

The FAA is seeking interested sources that are capable of providing AES life cycle in-service support. The FAA’s requirements are more fully described in the attachments. The requirement is anticipated to be a ten (10) year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract, consisting of a two (2) year base period and four (4) two-year option periods. The anticipated period of performance is subject to change at the FAA’s discretion.

4. NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE

The Principal North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) size standard code for this requirement is 335999– All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing, with a size standard of 600 employees. If you believe that another NAICS code is more appropriate to the work specified in this market survey, include supporting justification with your alternate NAICS code. Suggestion of an alternate NAICS code does not require that the work be set-aside or solicited under that alternative code.

5. NATURE OF COMPETITION

This Market Survey is conducted, in part, in an effort to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside the competition among qualified small businesses, as certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA), that meet the applicable size standards for this procurement as specified above. With that said, this Market Survey is intended to seek information from interested vendors of all sizes and types. The acquisition strategy and the nature of this procurement has yet to be determined. The FAA may decide to do an unrestricted competition or a full or partial set-aside.
