Provision of Automated Flight Following (AFF) Commercial Off-The-Shelf Solution & Portable Aircraft Tracking/Messaging Devices (PATMD) for United Nations Field Missions

The United Nations (UN) Department of Operational Support (DOS) invites interested vendors to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the provision of a comprehensive Automated Flight Following (AFF) solution and Portable Aircraft Tracking/Messaging Devices (PATMD) for its diverse fleet of over 200 civilian and military air assets operating globally. Background: The UN operates a significant fleet of aircraft across various missions worldwide. To ensure the safety, efficiency, and compliance of these operations, the UN requires a robust and integrated AFF solution that can seamlessly track and monitor flights in real-time, along with reliable PATMDs for aircraft lacking built-in tracking capabilities. Scope of Requirements: The selected vendor will be responsible for providing: 1. A cloud-based, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Software as a Service (SaaS) AFF solution capable of integrating data from multiple third-party AFF platforms and providing real-time flight tracking, status updates, and telemetry data. 2. Portable Aircraft Tracking/Messaging Devices (PATMD) that meet stringent performance, reliability, and security standards, ensuring global coverage and seamless integration with the AFF solution. Mandatory Requirements: • The AFF solution must be cloud-based, scalable, and capable of integrating data from various AFF platforms using XML or JSON formats. • The solution should offer both automated and manual flight-following functionalities, including real-time aircraft tracking, detailed flight segment information, and a dedicated help desk. • The PATMDs must provide real-time tracking, global coverage, accuracy, reliability, and integration with existing aviation systems. They should also be tamper-proof, adhere to data privacy regulations, and include an alerting system. Desired Requirements: • The AFF solution should be user-friendly, intuitive, and accessible via web and mobile interfaces. • The PATMDs should have long battery life, be compact and lightweight, and offer cost-effectiveness. Submission of EOI: Interested ven43000000, 25200000, 25201700dors are requested to submit their EOI to the attention of muchiri@un.org.
