Lockheed Martin Aircraft Weight and Balance System

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate with Lockheed Martin for the purchase and delivery of an upgrade to the current Aircraft Weight and Balance System (AWBS). The AWBS is a program that provides a method of determining the empty weight and empty weight center of gravity of an aircraft. Lockheed Martin is the sole provider of the AWBS system, and the Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) currently uses the Lockheed Martin AWBS program, version 10. The upgrade will be to version 11.2. * The AWBS program has the history of AOC aircraft, the complete inventory of items on each aircraft, and the data that will be transferred over to version 11.2 when upgraded. * The program is approved for use on NOAA servers, is compatible with AOC computers, and all users are familiar with the application. * Other vendors would not be able to transfer previous data, and users would need to be provided training. * Firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of the synopsis.
