The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to award a contract to JVN Communications, Inc., of Absecon, New Jersey; to provide engineering services to the Air Traffic Organization - Terminal Field Operational Support (ATO-TFOS) with FAA Inter-facility Radar Simulator (FIRS), Simulation Driver Radar Recorder (SDRR) and Graphical Scenario Generation Tool (GSGT) and other products which are proprietary which will include all enhancements, new requirements and maintenance of their products. In addition they will provide support to existing Stand-alone Inter-facility Radar Simulator (SIRS). Terminal Field Operational Support (TFOS) is a second level engineering support organization that provides support to all major NAS Terminal Systems including the following: Standard Terminal Automated Replacement system (STARS), Common Automated Radar Terminal Systems (CARTS) and Terminal Automation Replacement and Modernization System (TAMR). These will be referred to collectively as Terminal ATC Automation Systems. The enhancements and maintenance includes the servers and/or standalone processors, user licenses and training of Simulation Driver Radar Recorder (SDRR) Graphical Scenario Generation Tool (GSGT), Random Access Plan Position Indicators (RAPPI) Airspace Visual Display (AVID), Inter-facility Shadow (IFShadow) and JVN Flight Data Input/Output (JFDIO) platforms.

JVN Communications Inc. owns intellectual property rights to all FIRS applications and device drivers. SIRS and RIFRS produce National Air Space (NAS) inter-facility data, multiple RADAR information, capable of reproducing this data from any supported RADAR approach control. SDRR provides new external surveillance sources such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) and Multilateration (MLAT). SIRS is used within the STARS Central Support Complex (SCSC) located at the William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC) and supports several STARS test systems. RIFRS is used at test systems located at the WJHTC and ARTS IIIE/IIE Operational Support Facilities (OSF). SIRS and RIFRS are an intricate part of the OSF operational structure. A competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. If your firm does not agree with this single source determination, please provide evidence of your firm's capabilities and experience in providing the above required work, and the FAA will evaluate this accordingly.
