In accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration Acquisition Management System (FAA AMS) paragraph 3.2.2.4- Single Source Selection Procurement Process, Subpart 3.2.2.4.1.2, the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the FAA’s intent to contract with a selected firm using single source procedures. The FAA intends to award a Purchase Order to NovAtel, Inc. for the purchase of WAAS Enable Receivers, brand name only part numbers PROPAK-G2-DB9-L1L2W, GPS-702, and directional dish antenna to receive WAAS signal for timing for the Aircraft Geometric Height Measurement Element constellation. NovAtel Inc. holds the patent for the WAAS timing technology. This is a unique system, which passively measures aircraft geometric height from a transponded Mode S message. Because of the dependencies between the components within the integrated design, this source represents the only manufacturer that meets the design requirements for building the AGHME system. Interested parties who can meet the requirements called for in this announcement should respond by September 2, 2004 with their documentation in writing to: FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center, Debra Monzo, ACX-51, Atlantic City International Airport, NJ 08405, Fax number (609) 485-6766 or e-mail to [email protected]. The FAA SHALL NOT be liable for any costs associated with the preparation of responses to the request for information, nor reimburse or otherwise pay any costs associated with the preparation of responses to the request for information, nor reimburse or otherwise pay any costs incurred by any party responding to this announcement.
