The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to negotiate a contract on a single source basis to Microwave Engineering Corporation (MEC), North Andover, MA, for the acquisition of Weather System Processor (WSP) Uni-Directional Couplers.

This is highly sensitive equipment that was designed to replicate an existing coupler used in the ASR-9 specifically for use in the WSP.

The original manufacturer and only manufacturer on record is Microwave Engineering Corporation (MEC). The S310-101 model is the only approved version of the directional coupler fielded for WSP.
