INTRODUCTION
The FAA Airport Cable Loop (ACL) Systems - Sustained Support (ACLSSS) Program is responsible for continually monitoring, managing, and/or replacing FAA’s on-airport cable systems, with a strategic mission to provide increased capacity and availability. On-airport ACL systems are FAA-owned and managed signal/control cable lines and equipment that transport information between airport traffic control towers (ATCT) and other FAA on-airport facilities. This information includes essential and critical services such as radar and weather data, air-to-ground voice communication, navigational aid control and monitoring from the ATCT; as well as non-essential information such as administrative traffic and email.
The “Dedicated Network Telecommunications System” (DNTS) equipment obtained through this procurement will replace the aging legacy communications equipment most of which is deteriorating and no longer manufacturer-supported or produced.
SCOPE OF WORK
The Contractor must provide all necessary resources, equipment, engineering, logistics support, maintenance/operator training, spares provisioning and maintenance program, and the documentation for implementation, maintenance, and operation of the Dedicated Networks Telecommunications Services (DNTS).
ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
An OCI means that because of existing or planned activities, an offeror or contractor:
- Is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance to the agency; or
- Has an unfair competitive advantage; or
- The offeror or contractor's objectivity is or might be impaired.
Prospective offerors or current FAA contractors are encouraged to review FAA Procurement Guidance T3.1.7 Organizational Conflict of Interest, and become familiar with the following SIR clauses available at https://fast.faa.gov/contractclauses.cfm.
3.1.7-1 Exclusion from Future Agency Contracts (July 2018)
3.1.7-2 Organizational Conflicts of Interest (July 2018)
3.1.7-4 Organizational Conflict of Interest - Mitigation Plan Required (October 2019)
3.1.7-5 Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest (July 2018)
3.1.7-6 Disclosure of Certain Employee Relationships (January 2019)
Both prospective offerors and current FAA contractors should be ready and capable of responding to OCI clauses related to the SIR.
The FAA is committed to working with potential vendors to identify, avoid, neutralize or mitigate actual or perceived OCI situations. Interested vendors are instructed to contact the Contracting Officer (CO) at the earliest possible time to evaluate whether any identified actual or potential conflicts of interest may be avoided or mitigated.
