About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command's 502d Contracting Squadron has issued a Notice of Intent for a sole-source procurement of an Air Traffic Control Voice Communications System. The notice announces the government's intent to award a firm-fixed price contract to Frequentis Defense Inc. for the procurement of a Voice Communication System (VCS) 3020X. This system will be installed at the new Air Traffic Control Tower being constructed at JBSA Kelly Field, Lackland AFB, Texas. The notice serves as a market research tool to determine whether competitive sources exist for this specialized requirement. The contracting squadron is soliciting responses from interested parties to assess whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead of the planned sole-source award.
The primary objective of this procurement is to deliver, install, and operationally test a fully functional voice communications system that meets stringent federal aviation requirements. The system must be FAA-approved for air traffic control operations in the National Airspace System, comply with ED-137C standards, and possess Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) capabilities. Interested contractors must submit written responses by August 5, 2025, at 12:00 PM CDT, and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for consideration. The system delivery deadline is June 1, 2026, which aligns with the estimated completion of the new control tower construction. The government emphasizes that this notice is not a request for quotes or solicitation for offers, but rather an information-gathering exercise to determine the appropriate procurement strategy. Only responses from responsible sources demonstrating relevant capabilities will be considered in the government's decision-making process.
