Description

***NOAA'S ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, EASTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-NORFOLK, OFFICE OF MARINE AND AVIATION OPERATIONS (OMAO) AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS CENTER (AOC) INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH ROCKWELL COLLINS INC, OUT OF CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA FOR THE ROCKWELL COLLINS NAVIGATIONAL FUSION DATABASE SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL.

THE FMS AND IFIS SYSTEMS PROVIDE ACCURATE NAVIGATION POSITION DATA THAT ALLOWS IT TO OPERATE UNDER INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (IMC) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS / AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION MANUAL FAR/AIM.

IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE FAR/ AIM, THE FMA AND IFIS NAVIGATIONAL DATABASES MUST BE UPDATED ONCE EVERY 28 DAYS.

WITHOUT THE UPDATES, THE AIRCRAFT WOULD NOT LEGALLY BE ABLE TO OPERATE WHILE UNDER IMC. THIS WOULD SEVERELY DEGRADE THE MISSION CAPABILITY OF THE AIRCRAFT.

THE NAVIGATIONAL DATABASE UPDATES FOR THE FMS INSTALLED ON ALL THREE AOC KING AIRS ARE PROVIDED SOLELY BY ROCKWELL COLLINS. THIS PROPRIETARY DATABASE IS THE ONLY DATABASE THAT SUPPORTS THE KING AIR PROLINE 21 SERIES FMS-3000.

UPDATES ARE PROVIDED BY PURCHASING AN...
