Remote Tower Systems (RTS) for the National Airspace System (NAS)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is soliciting formal proposals for the planning, development, and deployment of Remote Tower Systems (RTS) for the National Airspace System (NAS). This requirement falls under NAICS code 488119, Other Airport Operations, and PSC N063, Installation of Equipment- Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems. The agency intends to evaluate submissions based on technical approach and price to select one or more providers that align with its acquisition strategy and program objectives. This solicitation carries no set-aside designation and is managed by the System Operations Contracts office in Washington, DC.

The procurement process aims to establish an agreement or contract with responsible sources capable of meeting the FAA’s operational requirements. Proposals must be submitted by June 22, 2026, and offerors are required to maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) through the time of award. Evaluation criteria and specific requirements are detailed across five official attachments, which include a draft Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for non-federal airports, an amended Request for Proposal (RFP), and a response document addressing industry questions.

Saaduddin Khan serves as the point of contact for solicitation number 693KA8-26-T-00016. While the FAA intends to proceed with a competitive procurement, the issuance of this RFP does not obligate the government to make an award. All costs associated with proposal preparation remain the responsibility of the offerors, and any proprietary information must be clearly marked within the submission. Performance of the resulting contract or agreement will be centered in Washington, DC.
