Single Source Announcement for Stratus Servers

In accordance with Section 3.2.2.4 of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS), the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the basis for the FAA's decision to contract on a single source basis. The FAA intends to award a purchase order to Stratus for servers to perform a technical refresh. Stratus servers are currently operational in the NAS and are used as the hardware platform for components of the NADIN, ADAS, WMSCR, TDLS and IAM NAS systems. All hardware and support is proprietary to Stratus Technologies and there is no other source capable of meeting the FAA’s requirement. Therefore, 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 capability and experience in providing the products outlined above and the FAA will evaluate accordingly. All responses to this announcement must be sent to [email protected] by 1:00 p.m. (EST), September 7, 2017.
