About this opportunity
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting an industry review for a draft specification to procure Light Emitting Diode (LED) Steady Burning Light Assemblies for the High Intensity Approach Lighting System with Sequenced Flashing Lights (ALSF-2). The specification covers requirements for both elevated and semi-flush LED light assemblies that will replace existing incandescent lamps at airport approach lighting systems. Key requirements include photometric performance with five brightness levels, programmable heating elements for ice dissipation, EMI protection, and operation across a temperature range of -40C to +67.2C. The FAA is seeking industry comments and expert feedback on the draft specification, with responses due electronically by April 29, 2024, at 1:00 PM EST. Interested parties are instructed to submit comments using the provided Reviewer Comments form, with a maximum of 6 pages of additional expert opinion.
There are currently no set-aside designations for this procurement, and the FAA has not yet determined a final procurement strategy. The NAICS code for this opportunity is 335139 (Electric Lamp Bulb and Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing), and the performance specification requires light assemblies with a Mean Time Between Failures of at least 30,000 hours. Elevated light assemblies must weigh no more than 6 pounds and have aiming capabilities from 0 to 25 degrees above horizontal, while semi-flush assemblies must weigh no more than 20 pounds and withstand aircraft loads up to 6,000 pounds of shear force. The light assemblies must be compatible with existing 20A/6.6A isolation transformers and meet specific photometric, electrical, environmental, and structural integrity testing requirements. This pre-solicitation notice represents a market survey to gather industry insights before finalizing the specification and potential future solicitation.
