About this opportunity
The Federal Aviation Administration's Air Traffic Organization Power Services Group is conducting a market survey to assess vendor capabilities for procuring Electrical Distribution Equipment (EDE) III and life cycle support services. The procurement encompasses electrical distribution equipment including paralleling switchgear, switchboards, motor control centers, transformers, panel boards, electrical power monitoring and control systems, along with associated logistics and training services to support National Air Space assets and facilities. Interested vendors must complete three capability assessment forms: Appendix A (Capability Form), Appendix B (Draft Section B.2 Exhibits), and Appendix C (Microgrid Components), demonstrating their ability to provide comprehensive electrical power system solutions and life cycle support. The FAA is seeking sources capable of designing, assembling, testing, and installing power distribution systems while providing maintenance training, technical support, and cybersecurity compliance. The market survey response deadline is October 7, 2025, with the primary NAICS code established as 335311 Power, Distribution and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing with an 800-employee size standard.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and identifies Schneider Electric as the current incumbent contractor under Contract No. 693KA8-18-D-00018. The anticipated contract structure is a ten-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) arrangement consisting of a two-year base period followed by four two-year option periods, though the performance period remains subject to FAA discretion. The procurement will support electrical infrastructure across diverse facility types ranging from small unstaffed locations to major Air Route Traffic Control Centers, with requirements covering both continental United States (CONUS) and outside continental United States (OCONUS) locations. The FAA expects its own technicians to handle operations and maintenance activities, necessitating comprehensive contractor-provided training including Level 1, Level 2, and computer-based training programs. While no specific contract value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, the scope encompasses extensive electrical distribution equipment, cybersecurity requirements, logistics support including 24/7 technical assistance, and comprehensive documentation and training services across the National Airspace System.
