Description
The Air Force Flight Standards Agency requires a fiber‑optic conversion system to support the emergency crash‑phone function of the ATC Enhanced Terminal Voice System (ETVS). The contractor must supply, configure, and install analog‑to‑fiber converters that enable ATC to simultaneously notify five first‑responder facilities, reducing response time and enhancing flight safety. The equipment must be U.S.‑manufactured, TAA‑compliant, ISO‑9001 certified, and meet a minimum five‑year warranty. Distribution may be through approved resellers, but TC Communications is the sole OEM. Quotes are due 15 Sept 2026.
