Quick Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Logistics Center, on behalf of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Operations (AMO), is conducting a Market Survey for Troll branded radio equipment to support the AMO Terrestrial Upgrade Project. This survey aims to identify industry capabilities for providing spares and repair services for specific Troll equipment. Responses are due by April 6, 2026.

- Procurement of Spare Equipment: Providing items listed in "Attachment 1a" via Delivery Orders over a base year plus four option years.
- Repair/Upgrade Services: Performing repairs and upgrades on equipment from "Attachment 1a" via Task Orders over a base year plus four option years.
Key activities for the potential future contract include evaluating and repairing equipment to manufacturer specifications, performing engineering studies, and managing long-lead repair inventory. Performance standards for repairs include specific Turn-Around Times (TATs) (15-45 calendar days depending on repair level) and reporting requirements (monthly status, weekly FRACAS, Failure Analysis Reports).
