Airfield Lighting Control System Upgrade (ALCMS), Fairchild AFB

The 92nd Contracting Squadron at Fairchild Air Force Base is conducting market research for a full upgrade to the base's Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCMS). This project focuses on modernization and cybersecurity alignment with Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. Air Force (USAF) standards. Work involves modifying existing hardware and software to meet FAA AC150/5345-56 and DAFGM 2023-32-01 specifications. The current ALCMS software is proprietary to ADB SAFEGATE, and the manufacturer is the only entity authorized to modify it to maintain life-safety functions. The scope includes moving the ADB SAFEGATE L-890 system from serial-based to IP-based ethernet architecture, requiring all necessary equipment and materials. This notice is for planning purposes under NAICS 513210. Capability statements are limited to five pages and are due by June 11, 2026. The technical scope involves moving the ADB SAFEGATE L-890 system from serial-based to IP-based Ethernet architecture. Only the original manufacturer, ADB SAFEGATE, is authorized for software modifications due to proprietary life-safety requirements. The draft Statement of Work outlines the transition to a cyber-secure environment while maintaining operations. The scope includes replacing hardware and software at the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and airfield lighting vault. Requirements include Industrial Microbox CPUs with Windows 11 24H2, managed fiber switches, and ACE 3 Door Upgrade kits for 28 Constant Current Regulators (CCRs). The touchscreen Human Machine Interface (HMI) will be updated with new graphics for the ethernet IP framework.
