Attachment 1 - Parts List.xlsx

This is a parts list attachment for a federal contract opportunity to procure conversion kits for Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator (ATCBI-5) modifications at Airport Surveillance Radar Model 9 (ASR-9) facilities. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires these kits as part of the Brand-New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) implementation under the Radar System Replacement (RSR) Program. The conversion kit replaces existing beacon cables at ASR-9/ATCBI-5 sites to achieve compatibility with Mode Select Beacon System (Mode-S) configuration, as current rotary joints do not provide sufficient signal paths for RSR architecture integration.

The parts list specifies six line items required for the conversion kit: 200 feet of Heliax 1/2" LDF4-50A upper cable (part number LDF4-50A by Andrew/Amphenol), 18 upper cable connectors (L4TNM-PSA), 3 AVA5-50 male connectors (78EZNM), 3 AVA5-50 female connectors (78EZNF), 350 feet of AVA5-50 lower cable (AVA5P-50-C by Andrew/Amphenol), and 3 surge arrestors for 0-3 GHz (PE73SP1039 by Pasternack). Approved manufacturers include Andrew/Amphenol Corporation and Pasternack, with Tessco and Mouser listed as alternative suppliers. This pre-solicitation indicates the FAA's intent to establish requirements for future competitive procurement of these specialized RF cable and connector components.
