About this agency
The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center is a civilian sub-agency that procures advanced aerospace technology, research infrastructure, facilities support, and data systems to support the FAA's testing and research mission. The Technical Center operates the William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace (WJHTC) in Atlantic City, New Jersey, which serves as the operational hub for the agency's contracting activity.
The FAA Technical Center has awarded 5,548 federal contracts since 2003, with a combined potential value of $30.2 billion and $4.02 billion obligated to date. Contract activity has remained steady over the last five years: 136 awards in 2022, 143 in 2023, 118 in 2024, 122 in 2025, and 203 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on September 24, 2026. Competitive concentration among prime contractors is moderately concentrated, with Four Points Technology, L.L.C. leading by award count at 111 recent awards, followed by General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. at 86 awards and Fresh Cut Lawn Care Inc. at 33 awards. These five top primes by count hold 39 percent of recent awards, though by potential value the top five hold only 1 percent, indicating a long tail of smaller-value contracts and heavy reliance on Schedule task orders or BPA calls with unreported dollar values. Across the contract portfolio, 92 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, with 4 percent total small-business set-asides, 1 percent each in Competitive 8(a) and 8(a) Sole Source, and negligible shares of SDVOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB awards.
The FAA Technical Center also awards federal grants, though at a much smaller scale. It has obligated $396.6 million in federal grant dollars across 144 total awards since 2000, with the most recent grant award on September 1, 2026. Recent grant activity has been limited: 1 award in 2021, 2 in 2022, 2 in 2023, 5 in 2024, and 2 so far in 2026. Grant recipients are highly fragmented, with Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University leading by award count at 2 recent awards and federal dollars at $1.4 million, while Sinclair Community College holds the largest single federal commitment at $1.9 million. The top five recipients by count and by federal dollars combined hold only 55 and 2 percent of recent awards and funding respectively. Cooperative Agreements dominate the assistance mix at 78 percent of awards, with Project Grants at 13 percent, Formula Grants at 6 percent, and Block Grants at 3 percent.
Recent contract opportunities span security services, software licensing, and research infrastructure. A Competitive 8(a) solicitation for Armed Security Guard Services at WJHTC closed November 4, 2026 (Amendment 0001 posted October 21, 2026). A single-source special notice for Information Security & Privacy Service Security and Strategic Support Services (contract 692M15-21-F-00017) closed October 20, 2026. A market survey for Real Estate Market Data to support property lease and disposal decisions closed September 18, 2026. A market survey for modernization of the National Airport Pavement Test Vehicle closed August 19, 2026.
