The FAA has a continuing requirement for Evaluation and Repair Services required to support and maintain Klystron Tubes, NSN 5960-01-464-9605, in support of Federal Aviation Administration Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR-9). The Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) is an aircraft detection system used to increase the safety of the National Airspace System (NAS). Besides aircraft detection, the ASR also provides weather detection for the terminal aircraft approaches. The ASR uses Klystron Tubes to provide final RF power amplification; they are essential for the operation of the radar. This repair support is only known to be available from Communications & Power Industries, LLC (CPI), Palo Alto, CA, as they hold the proprietary data rights and repair specifications. The FAA does not have rights in specifications or drawings to allow other sources to manufacture or repair these items. The rights to all proprietary information necessary to conduct manufacture, repair, and test of these assets are owned by Communications & Power Industries, LLC (CPI). Interested vendors must have access to the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) specifications and drawings. Potential sources must provide documentation to the FAA showing proof of rights to use the data from the OEM.
