THE VENDOR WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A 150-ton MINIMUM CAPACITY CRANE AND OPERATOR TO REMOVE AND REPLACE A RADAR SYSTEM WEIGHING APPROXIMATLY 718LBS. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE WORK WILL TAKE 3 DAYS TO COMPLETE.

THIS PROCUREMENT WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) IN SUPPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY’S (DHS) CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION AGENCY (CBP). NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE IN WRITING AND EMAILED TO THE CONTRACTING SPECIALIST. CONTACT INFORMATION BELOW. This is a market survey for information and comments from industry that will aid in the formation of an acquisition strategy for the procurement of a crane and operator.

This procurement will allow the Federal Aviation Administration Logistics Center’s (FAALC) technical team to remove a nonfunctional radar system and replace it with a functional suite. At this time, it is expected that the work will take place at one location. However, there may be a subsequent tower location that requires the same support no more than 50 miles from the original site. Additional details such as potential site locations are included in the accompanying draft statement of work (SOW).

At this time the nature of the competition has not been determined. The FAA may decide to do a full and open competition or set aside all or part of the procurement for small businesses, service-disabled veteran- owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program. The procurement strategy will be based partly on the results received from this market survey.

The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest, capabilities, and rough orders of magnitude (cost estimates) from businesses interested in and capable of providing the required kit. Respondents to this market survey are encouraged to provide comments regarding the government’s approach to this requirement.

This market survey is also being conducted to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside the potential acquisition among small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or 8(a) certified firms. Interested vendors are required to submit a copy of their SBA 8(a) certification letter, if applicable.

Each vendor should include the following information along with their submission: Capability Statement - This document should identify: Previous history of your firm successfully fulfilling all requirements as listed above and within the draft SOW. Previous contracts with partners successfully fulfilling all requirements as listed. (elaborate on the contract dollar amount and provide detailed information and past performance).
