Quick Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Special Notice / Market Survey to identify qualified vendors for Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Cab Glass Fabrication. While the FAA initially intends a single-source acquisition with Agnora, Ltd., this notice seeks to assess market capability and potential for competition or small business set-asides. Responses, including capability statements and Rough Orders of Magnitude (ROMs), are due by April 09, 2026.
Purpose
This market survey aims to gather information from businesses capable of providing high-quality, custom replacement cab glass units for FAA ATCTs nationwide. It is for informational purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). The FAA will use responses to determine if adequate competition exists and to assess the potential for setting aside the acquisition for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or 8(a) certified firms.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves the fabrication and delivery of custom ATCT Cab Glass units, including Insulating Glass Units (IGUs), Laminated Glass Units, and Monolithic Glass. These units must meet stringent specifications and standards (FAA, ANSI, ASTM, IGMA, SIGMA, GANA) for various glass types, thicknesses, and configurations. The scope includes crating, transportation to the FAA Logistics Center (FAALC) in Oklahoma City, OK, or directly to ATCT sites, and potential OEM Field Support. The objective is to ensure timely and expeditious replacement of defective glass to maintain safe FAA operations. The anticipated contract type is Indefinite-Delivery with a one-year base and four one-year option periods.
Submission Requirements
Interested vendors must submit:
- A Capability Statement detailing similar services, past contracts (quantities, dollar amounts, performance), years in business, and small business status.
- Confirmation of ability to provide all fabrications and services listed in the draft documents.
- An Expected Programmatic Approach (in-house, teaming, subcontracting, percentage of work by eligible small businesses).
- A Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) or budgetary estimate for the items described.
