FAA Acquisition Training Services

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Training Services Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract provides comprehensive training services for the FAA's acquisition workforce. The contract supports the development of acquisition capabilities through various training modalities, including live instructor-led courses (both traditional classroom and virtual), online training, and customized course development. The vehicle allows for delivery of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) training with minimal customization, leveraging existing contractor course materials, and developing entirely new courses specific to FAA's unique requirements in areas such as Systems Engineering, Test and Evaluation, and Enterprise Architecture.

The contract has been primarily awarded to three contractors: Management Concepts, Inc., Jlan Solutions LLC (an 8(a) certified small business), with task orders typically ranging from $50,000 to $1.4 million. Delivery orders have consistent characteristics, including firm fixed-price pricing, performance locations in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and durations typically spanning 6-18 months. No specific set-aside designations were consistently applied across task orders, though one contractor (Jlan Solutions) is an 8(a) Program participant. The task orders consistently support the FAA Headquarters' acquisition workforce training needs, with a focus on financial management, contracting, program management, and specialized acquisition-related training courses. The most significant task order to date was a $1.38 million delivery order for financial training courses awarded to Management Concepts, Inc. in September 2020.
