Electronic FAA Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST)

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters established the Electronic FAA Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST) Master BPA on August 24, 2009, and ordering authority remains open through September 30, 2029, leaving approximately three years and two months for new task-order placements. The vehicle is fully unrestricted; competitive small-business set-asides coexist with unrestricted awards across the portfolio.

eFAST holds a combined potential value of $10.22 billion across 1,018 task orders, with $5.19 billion (51%) obligated as of July 1, 2026. Ordering momentum has moderated in the past three years, declining from 50 orders in 2023 to 43 in 2024 and 27 in 2025, with 8 orders placed in 2026 through July. The most recent task order was awarded July 1, 2026, indicating continued but reduced activity.

Work spans air transportation support, business administration and management, research and development, computer systems development and support, documentation and training, and engineering services. Recent orders reflect FAA's priorities: system modernization (regional information systems, capital budget systems), air traffic modernization (NextGen, NAS engineering, airspace management), workforce support (training applications, human resources systems), and research (aviation weather, human factors, safety management). Task-order pricing is predominantly time-and-materials and fixed-price level-of-effort, with durations typically extending two to four years.

Competition is moderately concentrated. Rigil Corporation leads by potential value at $2.09 billion across 24 orders; Concept Solutions LLC, Network Designs Inc., JMA Solutions LLC, and CSSI LLC collectively hold roughly 32% of combined potential value. The remaining 227 awardees—including small businesses across multiple designations—fragment the long tail, with roughly 55% of orders designated unrestricted and about 45% reserved for small-business categories (8(a) sole-source, competitive 8(a), and service-disabled veteran-owned small-business variants).

Customer concentration is extreme: FAA Headquarters accounts for 932 of 1,018 orders and $9.64 billion of the $10.22 billion combined potential value, leaving minimal cross-agency opportunity. The FAA Technical Center and subsidiary FAA offices place the remaining orders.

Task-order ceilings range widely—from under $1 million for narrow support efforts to $27.7 million for multi-year national airspace system defense operations and $120.5 million for large technical and administrative support contracts. The vehicle favors small business suppliers but remains open to all qualified contractors meeting FAA requirements.

The Electronic Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST) is the FAA's preferred contracting vehicle for small business contracts. eFAST Master IDIQ Holders offer services in the following functional areas: Air Transportation Support, Business Administration & Management, Research & Development, Computer/Information Systems Development, Computer Systems Support, Documentation & Training, Engineering Services, Maintenance & Repair.
