FAA market survey for DME power meters and sensors

The Federal Aviation Administration is surveying the market for commercial power measurement equipment used to install and maintain Distance Measuring Equipment facilities. - Buyer: U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), 693KA8 System Operations Contracts office. - Procurement status: Informational market survey, not a solicitation; the FAA is gathering product, technical, pricing, production-capacity, deployment, U.S. manufacturing-content, and power-requirement information. - Products requested: Commercially available DME power meters and power sensors. No purchase quantities, models, part numbers, OEMs, or vendors are identified. - Power meter requirements: 960–1215 MHz operating range, 1.5 MHz testing bandwidth, maximum input signal power of +20 dBm, 65 dB input dynamic range, and a Type N female 50-ohm connector. The meter must measure average and peak power, meet the stated accuracy requirements, display absolute readings in watts or dBm and relative readings in percent or dB, and operate from 0 to 55°C. Vendors should identify any necessary ancillary components. - Power sensor: A commercial power sensor is also sought to support DME installation and maintenance; respondents are asked to describe its performance and identify any required ancillary components. - OEMs and vendors: None are named in the notice or attachment summary. - Timing: No contract performance period is stated. The survey notes that a future procurement may be considered as the FAA's current contract approaches expiration.
