Description

This market survey is issued, in accordance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) paragraph, 3.2.1.2.1, to obtain necessary information to determine whether adequate competition exists to conduct a competitive procurement. The Integrated Display Replacement Systems (IDSR) is an integral part of the National Air Space System (NAS) Integrated Display Replacement System (IDSR), also known as NIDS contract was awarded on May 28, 2010. The period of performance was for a 12-month base, plus four (1) one- year options. The NIDS has been deployed to 41 networks, for a total of 925 workstations located at 96 sites. The system provides rapid retrieval and display of a wide range of weather, operational support, and administrative information to air traffic controllers and other required users in the terminal environment. The system consolidates operational information to provide a tool to exchange information that impacts the control of air traffic. The NIDS is an integration of All Weather Inc. (AWI), owned-Flex-IDS software platform, including software developed by Advanced Installer by Caphyon Ltd., and JPedal by IDR Solutions and 18 open-source code software libraries. The FAA will consider alternative solutions, knowledge, ability, time, and pricing. NIDS distributes data over a network using protocols from the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite including, but not limited to, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). NIDS uses custom reliability and resiliency layers on top of IP multicast to allow simultaneous delivery of time critical data with minimal bandwidth consumption. The FAA has a requirement to continue the software maintenance of the NIDS IDRS. The planned period of performance is for a 12-month base year, plus four (4) one-year options. This market survey is to seek qualified vendors who believe they have the capabilities and solutions necessary to continue software maintenance of the NIDS IDSR Software. Interested parties must demonstrate relevant experience, within the past five (5) years, for the same work or work similar in scope, including the number of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) available and the level of knowledge and relevant experience in each of the following areas: 1.
