- Market Survey Sources SoughtFor Enhanced Vision System General Information: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Aviation System Standards (AVN) is conducting a Market Survey seeking possible sources/vendors to provide an Enhanced Vision System that can be installed on the FAA-owned Beechcraft Super King Air 300 aircraft fleet. The FAA is looking for an economical system that currently has, or in the near future will have, the required Supplemental Type Certificate necessary for installation on the Beechcraft Super King Air 300 aircraft. The FAA wants to review and see full up demonstrations of Enhanced Vision Systems currently available in the market. The FAA will then make the determination to go or no-go on installing an Enhanced Vision System into the FAA's fleet of 18 Beechcraft Super King Air 300 aircraft. The FAA requests vendors provide the following information along with completion of the Attachment A-Business Declaration Form attached. The FAA will require this information to development the bidders list, if and when this requirement proceeds to the acquisition phase. If the determination is made to go with installation, as a minimum, the vendor's Enhanced Vision System would have to have a Supplemental Type Certificate for installation on the Be-300 aircraft. For our initial review, the FAA will require the vendor provide and complete the Attachment B-and return it to the FAA for consideration. All interested parties are advised that the FAA will not pay for any information or any administrative costs incurred that are associated with any response received from industry in response to this Market Survey/Request for Information.

Response to this Market Survey: Any information provided under this market survey is for informational purposes only and will not be released. Any proprietary information submitted will be protected if appropriately marked. No evaluation of vendors will occur and vendor participation in any informational session is not a promise of future business with the FAA. The FAA will require the submission of Attachment A - Vendor Business Information and Attachment B - Vendor Enhanced Vision System Specifications and information.
