The Federal Aviation Administration has revised the Screening Information Request (SIR) for the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) - Dual Frequency Operations (DFO) Phase I based on comments received from industry and refinements to FAA’s technical requirements. Industry comments are solicited on the attached WAAS DFO SIR DRAFT II and Technical Data Package (TDP) documents. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Dual Frequency Operations (DFO) will utilize Department of Defense Global Positioning System (GPS) L1 Coarse Acquisition and L5 signals to maintain existing Single Frequency User Service and provide a new Dual Frequency User Service. The realization of an L5 capable GPS constellation has been delayed and therefore WAAS DFO has been segmented into two implementation phases. DFO Phase 1, represented with the attached Statement of Work (SOW), upgrades the WAAS infrastructure to enable reception and collection of the L5 signal with the WAAS reference station network and implements system changes required to sustain the WAAS. The FAA is not seeking nor accepting unsolicited proposals. This notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the FAA to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the FAA to a particular acquisition approach. Responses to this notice are for informational purposes only and are made on a voluntary basis. In order for responses to be considered by the FAA, they must be received no later than March 29, 2013. The DRAFT SIR and TDP documents are subject to change and should not be used to respond to any future solicitation. Please check the FAA Contract Opportunities web site for updates. The TDP materials are available via the FAA's KSN website. Both a user identification (id) and password will be required to access these materials.
