ARTS and related equipment is installed at FAA's terminal radar approach control (TRACON) facilities and connected terminal facilities. Activities to sustain ARTS is increasing, requiring software changes, hardware redesign and other operationally driven enhancements to satisfy user-identified problems or needs. These sustainment activities include joint Contractor and FAA enhancements, integration, testing and installation and checkout activities for software and hardware. This requirement is for approximately 200,000 hours of engineering sustainment services. The period of performance for this requirement is two years, at an estimated cost of $23 million. Lockheed Martin Corporation designed, integrated, installed and currently sustains ARTS. Their current contract was awarded in March 1999 and includes engineering sustainment support that expires March 2006.

Expert knowledge of design, functionality, operation and integration of hardware, software, interfaces and air traffic environment in which ARTS operates. 2. Established capability to develop, maintain, archive, and control access to source code for ARTS software. 3. Proven software and hardware maintenance, modification and testing capabilities for ARTS. 4. Infrastructure to respond to on-site malfunctions and other problems on an on-call basis. 5. Ability to ensure uninterrupted support and no risk to service for operational ARTS. Interested vendors must respond with a technical statement of experience and proven capabilities of working technically equivalent systems in a similar environment and proven record of providing timely and efficient support services for ARTS. Vendors must address all items in 1-5 above. Vendors must also provide a transition plan detailing steps needed to transfer the sustainment work without impacting the schedule of fixes to software troubles or impacting the maintenance of the system hardware at the sites. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing responses to the announcement. Any proprietary information should be marked.
