The FAA has a requirement for acquisition of Power Supply Modules (PSM) model 1764 for the Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE)-3 radar system. The Model 1764 PSM is a custom unit originally designed by Quarterwave Corporation as part of the ASDE-3 system. Quarterwave is the only approved manufacturer for the PSM at this time. The PSM is a critical part necessary to maintain ASDE-3 facilities. The current requirement is necessary to avoid extended outages at National Airspace Systems (NAS) ASDE-3 facilities. Alternate sources for this PSM would require initial engineering time, first article production, testing and approval followed by production time. This delay in providing production units could result in extended outages within the NAS due to demand and supply of this asset. As a result, an increased number of NAS facilities could experience extended outages while qualifying an alternate source.
