## Description

Amendment 1 - The purpose of this amendment is to extend the due date for responses from September 21, 2026 to October 15, 2026. An amended Market Survey Announcement, with all revisions in red, is attached to this announcement. All other elements of this market survey, including the MVP Requirements Matrix and VOR Specification FAA-E-37012, are unchanged.

Original Announcement - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed a VOR Minimum Viable Product (MVP) requirements set in response to industry feedback received from a November 2025 FAA VOR Market Survey. The MVP requirements set focuses on the essential capabilities needed to moderniize legacy VOR Systems while addressing equipment obsolescence, diminishing parts availability, and long-term sustainment needs.

This Market Survey is intended to serve as a starting point for industry engagement and is not intended to prescribe a unique FAA design solution. The FAA seeks to understand how existing Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) products align with the MVP requirements and to obtain industry recommendations for closing any identified gaps while minimizing cost, schedule, technical risk, and long-term sustainment burdens.

Please see attached VOR Market Survey, VOR Specification FAA-E-37012 with MVPs highlighted, and the MVP Requirements Matrix for additional information, including due dates for responses. The MVP Requirements Matrix is provided in Word Format for ease of response.
