- Description
- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a requirement for the overhaul/repair of an estimated annual quantity of 150 each Amplitron Tubes, NSN 5960-00-023-9482, Litton Systems Inc. (Litton), P/N L4953R, Raytheon Service Co., P/N QK653 and Electronics Industries Assoc., P/N RK7577. Raytheon, who subsequently sold that division to Litton, originally manufactured the tubes. The proposed contractor is Northrop Grumman, Williamsport PA, who recently acquired the Electron Devices Division of Litton Systems Inc. The proposed contract provides for major overhaul or modification services in support of Air Route Surveillance Radar Models 1 and 2 (ARSR 1/2) systems. The ARSR 1/2 are integral part of the Air Traffic control system. Requirement is for a base year and includes option provisions to renew for four additional 1-year periods, to be exercised at the sole discretion of the FAA. The proposed contract will incorporate AMS Clause 3.2.4-35, Option to Extend the Te! rm of the Contract, and 3.2.4-34, Option to Extend Services. Raytheon originally built the ARSR 1 & 2 systems in 1957 specifically for the FAA. In 1994 Raytheon sold their tube division to Litton. This acquisition included the proprietary rights for repair of original tubes applicable to the ARSR 1 and 2 systems, as well as the test set for testing rebuild/overhaul of amplitron tubes. The test set is a one of a kind unit, which was built specifically for testing the rebuild/overhaul of amplitron tubes in order to maintain FAA?s stringent safety and reliability standards. The amplitron electronic characteristics cannot be measured and aligned without the use of this test set. The repair processes are proprietary to Northrop Grumman; however, the FAA has revised FAA Logistics Center Specification, FAA-D-1275, Tube, Electron, Amplitron, which coupled with a company's knowledge and experience should enable other vendors to be qualified to rebuild/overhaul these tubes. However, a vendor must have access to a test set, which will be required in order to accomplish system testing. The FAA does not have a test set to provide to a contractor as Government Furnished Property. Interested vendors that have the capabilities and access to a test set should respond with their documentation and proof of availability of test set to the Contracting Officer.
