The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded Columbia, Maryland-based Frequentis USA a potential $477.3 million contract to provide air-to-ground protocol converter systems designed to replace radio control equipment in the National Airspace System.
FAA announced the contract award in a notice published Tuesday on SAM.gov.
The agency expects the APCs to replace legacy RCE to back existing analog communication links and facilitate the move to voice over internet protocol communications links.
Under the contract, the vendor will provide support services to facilitate the design, development, testing and deployment of APCs, including systems engineering, program management, test and evaluation, integrated logistics, operational, delivery and installation support.
The agency issued a solicitation for the requirement in 2022.
Frequentis USA has been providing voice communications and data information systems for FAA, Department of Defense, NASA and other U.S. government agencies for over two decades.
