NEST SIR Kickoff_09SEP2026.mp4

This is a video file of a NIMS (NISC Implementation Management System) demonstration and SIR (Solicitation for Information Response) kickoff meeting scheduled for September 9, 2026. The video supports the NISC Enterprise Support Tasking (NEST) solicitation (693KA9-26-R-00003), a task order contract opportunity set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns issued by the Federal Aviation Administration's AJW-2 Directorate, Implementation Services Group.

The demonstration video provides a live walkthrough of the NIMS system, which is the primary tool for managing the National Airspace System (NAS) Integration Support Contract (NISC IV). The NEST contract requires a support contractor to provide operations and maintenance services for the NIMS system, maintain quality assurance and control for system availability, and operate the CMIS system (previously used for NISC III contract management). Additionally, the contractor must serve as a Subject Matter Expert capable of designing, developing, testing, deploying, and documenting new software to support the transition to NISC V contract, including recommendations on software architecture and development tools. The video is an essential reference tool for prospective bidders preparing their responses to understand the existing system infrastructure, current operational requirements, and the scope of work involved in supporting both the legacy NISC IV environment and developing the new NISC V system.
