Default Does FLARM meet TABS requirement?

Out of curiosity, is there any equipment currently on the market that meets the TABS requirement?

Nothing that I am aware of. Requirements were just finalized in October of last year. I would need to dig back through some discussions I have have with others, but think of TABS as pretty much a Mode S transponder with the GPS input for "extended squitter" or 1090ES out. There are some other differences, but that is probably the closest description you will find of "TABS in 100 words or less".
