- Description
- Sole Source Justification for ATC Upgrade ATIS NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE ATC Upgrade ATIS FA4610-17-T-0006 30th Contracting Squadron, Vandenberg AFB, CA intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract on a sole source basis to Systems Atlanta, Inc. (SAI) for Digital Automated Terminal Information Service (DATIS) software update, vocabulary update, and three (3) years of telephonic support services. Reference FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. In 2005, the Air Force started using SAI's Airfield Automation System (AFAS). This software supports airfield data displays and dissemination for allcommunicating facilities for air traffic controllers and airfield management facilities across the AirForce. The DATIS software is the only platform that is authorized to interface with AFAS and connect to the VAFB LAN, and will replace the antiquated DATIS software currently in use. The DATIS component of the IDS5 DATIS solution is developed by STR-SpeechTech, Ltd (STR) under the name of StarCaster ATIS, and is packaged and distributed by Systems Atlanta, Inc. to Air Force and Army sites all over the world. DATIS is sole product compatible for use with the AFAS system and is critical for 30th Operations Support Squadron's mission. DATIS supports the 30th Space Wing's Spacelift, Range, and ATC mission, and continuously provides key base agencies and pilots with current weather, status information, Notice-to Airmen, airfield advisories, runway in use, runway conditions, approach in use, severe weather warnings, and other pertinent security and aviation-safety related information. The DATIS messages are prepared by Air Traffic Controllers and are continuously broadcasted to pilots and other personnel. Mission assurance for 30th Operations Support Squadron necessitates an up to date DATIS as an out of date system poses an immediate risk to 30 th Space Wing's Spacelift, Range, and ATC mission operations. To mitigate this risk, the Government has determined it necessary to award a sole source contract to Systems Atlanta, Inc. The closing date for any responses to this proposed contract action is 3 Aug 2017 at 4:00pm PST. Any responses to this notice of contract action shall be submitted to Alyson Kolding at alyson.kolding@us.af.mil and Natalie Bernal at natalie.bernal@us.af.mil.
