Tender summary
<p>This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for commercial items prepared IAW RFO 12.201-1(a) and the format in RFO 5.201(c), as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.</p> <p><br /> ONLY ONE AVAILABLE SOURCE IAW RFO 12.102(a) AND RFO 5.101(c)(4)(vii):</p> <p><br /> 733 CES is requesting the purchase and installation of an airfield beacon light, along with its relocation to a cell phone tower on the base. Additionally, they are seeking the implementation of a wireless control system that enables communication between the air traffic control tower and the beacon on the cell phone tower. The existing beacon system was designed and installed by Electrical & Construction Specialists (ECS), Inc. To meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components must be used when modifying the existing beacon system (per AC 150/5345-53). The existing beacon has the following part number: ECS-224M, it is only made by Electrical & Construction Specialists, Inc. and there are no known third party certified alternates available. To meet FAA regulations, the beacon must be replaced with the same part number.<br /> Our office reached out to Electrical & Construction Specialists, Inc. to verify the information above. We obtained a signed letterhead memorandum, dated 23 March 2026, stating "ECS is the sole source for the model ECS-224M airport rotating beacon that is presently in service at the Ft Eustis Virginia facility, and is the sole source for the ECS-224M beacon proposed to be its replacement.</p> <p><br /> There are no out-sourced suppliers, vendors or manufacturers who market the ECS products. ECS manufacturers (and re-manufacturers) and markets its own beacon and parts with the intent to save the end user as much money as possible when purchasing these items."</p>
