The rotary couplers are used in FAA radar systems and are critical to Air Traffic Control in maintaining safety in the National Airspace System (NAS). The rotary coupler is a single point of failure for every radar system. In the event of coupler failure, there are no back-up systems in place. Therefore, the quality and projected life cycle of the rotary couplers is vital to the continued support of the NAS.

The requirement will be for one base year period with four one-year option periods to be exercised at the sole discretion of the FAA. It is anticipated that multiple contracts may be awarded to meet this requirement.

First article testing will be required for repair of each rotary coupler repaired by other than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). First article test procedures will be set forth in the solicitation.

Results of repair/overhaul shall meet the standards specified in the FAA's Certificates of Compliance and Measurement Set documents for each rotary coupler.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and size standards for this effort is
NAICS 811210 - Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance.  The business size standard for this NAICS is $34.0 million.
