About this opportunity
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources for single and dual channel SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar) Monitors required for the Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator Model 6 (ATCBI-6) radar system. This is a pre-solicitation notice, not an active request for proposals, and responses are being solicited purely for informational purposes to develop a source list. The FAA emphasizes that these components are critical to maintaining National Airspace System (NAS) operations and preventing extended outages at ATCBI-6 radar facilities. The market survey is intended to determine whether alternate manufacturers exist and whether competitive sources can be qualified in a timeframe that would not disrupt NAS operations. Interested vendors must submit statements of interest and capabilities by April 30, 2026. The FAA clarifies that it will not pay for any information received or reimburse costs associated with preparing survey responses, meaning all submission expenses are the vendor's responsibility.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation. Beel Technologies Inc. is identified as the current sole known manufacturer of the required SSR Monitors, holding the incumbent position for these specialized components. The specific requirements include 515 units of the MasterPoint S2 Single Channel SSR Monitor and 55 units of the MasterPoint S2 Dual Channel SSR Monitor, with detailed part numbers and NSN designations provided. While no explicit budget range is stated in this pre-solicitation notice, the significant quantity of units and the critical nature of the equipment suggest a substantial procurement value. The FAA anticipates that qualifying alternate sources would require initial engineering evaluation, first article testing and approval, and subsequent production lead time, which could delay deliveries and impact NAS facility operations if pursued during this current requirement cycle.
Notice text
The FAA has a requirement for acquisition of single and dual channel SSR Monitors for the Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator Model 6 (ATCBI-6) radar system. Beel Technologies Inc. is the only known manufacturer for the single and dual channel SSR Monitors.

515 each MasterPoint S2 Single Channel SSR Monitor
MPP P/N 31134-G35-F02-ES0
IFS P/N 100037968

The single and dual channel SSR Monitors are critical components necessary to maintain ATCBI-6 radar systems. The current requirement is necessary to avoid extended outages at National Airspace Systems (NAS) ATCBI-6 radar systems.
Alternate sources for these single and dual channel SSR Monitors would require initial engineering time, first article production, testing and approval followed by production time. This delay in providing production units could result in extended outages within the NAS due to demand and supply of this asset. As a result, an increased number of NAS facilities could experience extended outages while qualifying an alternate source.
The responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. This is not a screening information request or request for proposal of any kind. The FAA is not seeking or accepting proposals at this time. The responses will be used to develop the source list for this requirement. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing the response to the market survey. Therefore, any cost associated with the market survey submission is solely at the interested vendor’s expense.
The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from all businesses capable of providing the specified equipment.
This market survey is also being conducted in order to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside the competition among small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or 8(a) certified firms.
The NAICS CODE for this requirement will be 334290, Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing, with a Small Business Size Standard of 800.
The FAA intends to review all response submittals to establish the acquisition strategy for this requirement.
To make this determination the FAA requires the following from interested vendors:
1. Capability Statement:
a. Provide documentation to the FAA showing proof of rights to use the data from the OEM
b. Clearly demonstrate that the interested vendor is qualified and capable of providing the required component
c. Identify type of manufacturing provided by your firm,
d. Identify size and type of products provided by previous contracts (elaborate and provide detailed information and past performance),
2. Provide a copy of ISO 9001:2015 certification.
3. Provide a point of contact number and name (either by phone, email or both) for questions.
4. *Proof of Entity Registration in the System for Award Management (https://SAM.gov)
5. A copy of the vendor's SBA 8(a) Certification Letter, if applicable or Certification of SDVOSB eligibility, if applicable.
*Per the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS), clause 3.3.1-33 System for Award Management (SAM), paragraph (b)(1) “By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee must be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.”
Please respond by submitting complete capability statement by email to: connie.m.houpt@faa.gov.
All responses to this market survey must be received by April 30, 2026, 2:00 pm CT marked as “6973GH-26-MS-00004 Single and Dual channel SSR Monitors Market Survey response”.
