Single Source Announce for Curtiss Wright Front Panel Display Port (FPDP) Cards

Added: Mar 30, 2017 11:41 am The FAA intends to issue a single source acquisition to Curtiss Wright Controls Electronic Systems Inc., 2600 Paramount Pl. STE 200, Fairborn, OH 45324-6816.



This acquisition will acquire Serial Interface Front Panel Display Port (FPDP) Cards. The acquisition is estimated to be $637,732 for the production purchase of each 192 FPDP cards, estimated delivery July 2017.



Authority: This acquisition will be issued IAW AMS 3.2.2.4 Single Source for standardization.



Reason for Single Source: The FAA Surface Radar Systems Division is conducting an ASDE-X technology refresh and the acquisition is the production quantity of serial interface port display processor cards required for communication of the Radar Data Processor (RDP). The cards use software to allow their performance in this specific environment. Market research identified limited sources that provide the two form factors (PCIE and CMC) required for FAA RDP performance. The acquisition of Curtis Wright Cards was determined to provide the best fit for the technical refresh based upon the required software drivers which enable them to interface with the present architecture within the ASDE-X radar. Any other card would require software driver development and regression testing resulting in a financial impact.



A competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. Question regarding this acquisition may be submitted to the Contracting Officer, Avis.Franklin@faa.gov not later than April 4, 2017.
