99 -- TRAFFIC ALERT AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM TEST SETS POC Contact: Cindy L. Chaney, Ph: (202) 267-2500/Contracting Officer: Shirley Vellis, Ph: (202) 267-0766 The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Tel-Instrument Electronics Corporation for the T-49 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) test sets. The T-49 test set verifies that TCAS systems are operating at maximum performance parameters from end-to-end (antennas to indicators) while installed in the aircraft. This test set is provided with preprogrammed flight scenarios and is also able to test the Mode S Transponder as an integral part of TCAS. The T-49 test set is the only test set known that tests all of the above listed areas. This is not a request for proposal and a competitive solicitation is not available. This requirement is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate only with Tel-Instruments Electronics Corporation. The proposed effort will be negotiated as a sole source procurement in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and Transportation Acquisition Regulation guidance. See Note 22. (0199)
