2. Introduction/Purpose

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking Industry comments on the attached draft

LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) STEADY BURNING LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR THE

HIGH INTENSITY APPROACH LIGHTING SYSTEM WITH SEQUENCED FLASHING

LIGHTS (ALSF-2). The FAA is interested in gathering feedback on this specification. The FAA intends to utilize Industry comments in finalizing the LED Steady Burning Light Assembly for the ALSF-2 specification. The information received will be used to improve government awareness of ALSF-2 LED Light Assembly performance and avoid potential ambiguity related to ALSF-2 LED Light Assembly specification requirements.

In addition, a set of questions regarding requirements in the specification are listed below. This is an addendum to the overall specification review.

(a) Please identify any other requirements that may be challenging in the specification, and provide your recommendations.

(b) Describe how the requirement will be implemented for lamp monitoring, as specified in Section 3.2.5, Lamp Monitoring Interface. Responders may also provide proposed design drawings and/or schematics.

(c) Will the LED light assemblies be capable of generating enough heat to alleviate any ice accumulation, as specified in Section 3.6.1.10, Ice Dissipation? If yes, how would this capability be implemented in the design?

(d) Describe how the requirements in Section 3.6.1.4, Sand and Dust will be met without impacting the photometric requirements for both the elevated and semi-flush LED light assemblies.

3. Nature of Competition

A procurement strategy has not been determined at this time. The procurement method will be determined based on a future market survey. Failure to respond to this Specification Review will not result in exclusion from the resulting solicitation.

4. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 335139 (Electric Lamp Bulb and Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing). If other NAICS codes are believed to be appropriate, industry responses should identify and explain why the additional NAICS codes should be considered under this Specification Review.

5. Submittal Requirements for Specification Review

Please use the attached Reviewer Comments form to provide your comments. Submissions must include company point(s) of contact, title(s), and telephone number(s) or e-mail address.

Please provide your expert opinion on the questions identified in Section 2 of this document. You may provide your answers to each question in a separate word file using a font size no smaller than 12 point. Responses to all questions must be limited to no more than 6 pages, single sided.

6. Delivery of Submittals
