C1.0 INTRODUCTION

C1.1 Overview The Interim Voice Switch Replacement (IVSR) Program is established to provide voice switches for newly constructed facilities (i.e., tower and terminal radar approach control (TRACON)) and to provide replacement switches for existing facilities until the next voice switch acquisition program is fielded. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is presently evaluating all domains of voice switches as part of the Voice over IP Communication Enterprise (VoICE) program. The VoICE program is in the early stages of the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) acquisition process.

The IVSR Program will concentrate on acquiring FAA approved, tested and baselined voice switches and sustainment of IVSR and Air-to-Ground Media Gateway Systems (AGMGS) that are currently fielded in the NAS. The FAA contemplates an extension of the Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for the production, delivery, installation, maintenance and sustainment of IVSR systems. The extension option periods are comprised of firm fixed price (FFP) and time and materials (T&M) contract line items. The duration of the extended contract will be a total of fifteen (15) years if all options are exercised.

The Contractor must utilize the existing support concepts for the voice switch system proposed to satisfy the IVSR build, test, delivery, install and life cycle support requirements.

C1.2 Purpose

This Statement of Work (SOW) identifies the tasks that the Contractor must perform to satisfy the FAA’s requirements described in the herein.
