Description

The Department of Transportation, specifically the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources for the repair of Transmit-Receive (TR) Limiters, also known as Receiver Protectors, which are critical components in the ASR-9 radar system. The FAA requires evaluation and repair services for these limiters, identified by NSN 5960-01-520-3540, to ensure operational readiness and prevent backorders, as the current provider is unable to meet demand. Interested vendors must demonstrate their capabilities in handling RF equipment and provide necessary certifications, including ISO 9001:2015, with responses due by May 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT. For further inquiries, vendors can contact Connie Houpt at connie.m.houpt@faa.gov.

The Statement of Work outlines the requirements for the repair of ASR-9 Transmit-Receive (TR) Limiters, also known as Receiver Protectors, essential for maintaining the functionality of airport surveillance radar systems. Responsibilities include testing, repairing, refurbishing, and rebuilding TR Limiters under NSN 5960-01-520-3540. The contractor must ensure serviceability through major or minor repairs depending on the unit's age and passed specifications. Major repairs involve replacing out-of-date components and upgrading radioactive material, while minor repairs require verification of operational circuitry without replacing components if the unit is less than five years old. Deliverables include a serviceable unit, test data, and a Failure Analysis Report for major repairs. All units must be inspected and accepted upon delivery, adhering to performance specifications. The entire process emphasizes time efficiency, requiring delivery within 200 days from receiving the repairable unit. This document serves to maintain operational capability in aviation radar technology, emphasizing quality assurance and operational readiness in government RFPs and contracts.
