About this file

This document is Amendment 0003 to Solicitation 6973GH-25-R-00221, issued by the FAA Facilities and Aviation Safety Acquisition office in Oklahoma City on February 19, 2026. The amendment incorporates Questions and Answers 66-70, revises applicable Section L and M clauses, and extends the proposal due date from March 23, 2026 to March 30, 2026. The period of performance is August 20, 2026 to August 19, 2027.

The amendment makes significant revisions to proposal preparation and submission requirements. Teaming arrangement agreements are now to be included in Volume II (Technical Proposal) rather than Volume I (Contract Documentation). Proposal Organization includes Volume I (Contract Documentation, no page limit); Volume II (Technical Proposal Factor 1, not to exceed 75 pages plus unlimited Key Personnel Resumes and teaming arrangements); Volume III (Past Performance Factor 2, no page limit); and Volume IV (Cost/Price Proposal, no page limit). Technical proposals must be detailed and specific, demonstrating thorough understanding of Statement of Work requirements without generic statements or paraphrasing. Past Performance requirements specify that offerors must provide two to four Past Performance Surveys from clients for contracts awarded within the past five years, or contracts with at least twelve months of completed performance. Cost proposals must be tabbed by contract year with estimating rationale, methodology, support documentation, and Excel spreadsheets showing formulas and computations.

Technical proposals shall be submitted as separate and complete sections for each of the

Technical Evaluation Factors outlined in

Provision L.4 below and Provision M.2. The technical proposal shall not include prices/costs or any pricing information.

(1) The technical proposal must be sufficiently detailed to enable technically oriented personnel to make a thorough evaluation and to arrive at a sound determination as to whether the proposed operations and maintenance services meet the requirements of the Government and that the offered approach is valid and practical. The technical proposal must be specific, detailed and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that the offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements for, and the technical problems inherent in, providing services of the scope outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW). Clear evidence of services previously demonstrated and currently in place relating to the factors and sub-factors should be included in each evaluation area.

(2) Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with all statements in the SOW and statements paraphrasing the SOW requirements or parts thereof, are considered insufficient.

Phrases such as "standard procedures will be employed," or "well-known techniques will be used," etc. will be considered insufficient.

(3) Content is more important than quantity.

Technical proposal is limited to no more than 75 pages. Key Personnel Resumes are not subject to the 75-page limitation and potential offerors are allowed 3 pages for each Key Personnel Resume.

Any Teaming Arrangement (s), if applicable, shall be provided in Volume II and is not subject to a page limitation. Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present complete and effective proposals are neither necessary nor desired and may be construed as an indication of the offeror's lack of cost consciousness. To expedite review of the proposals, the responses for each evaluation factor shall be provided in a separate section and the section shall be tabbed for ease of reference.

(4) If any portion of the work is to be performed by a subcontractor, the proposal must provide rationale for subcontracting, how the specific subcontractor was determined (reference AMS

3.10.2-5, Competition in Subcontracting), and the percentage of work to be performed by the subcontractor. The proposal must include supporting documentation describing each subcontractor's technical qualifications and detailed pricing information to support all subcontractor costs.

(f) Volume III (Factor 2) – Past Performance

Information

All offerors are required to provide the Past

Performance Survey (PPS) Section J, Attachment 7) along with the Client Authorization Letter

(Section J, Attachment 8), to clients (primary and alternate reference for each contract) who are familiar with work demonstrated on previous contracts of a similar nature. Offerors shall provide a minimum of two (2) with a maximum of four (4) Past Performance Surveys. Only contracts that have been awarded within the past

5 years will be considered, however, the offerors are allowed to utilize two (2) contracts where at least the twelve (12) months of performance has been completed.

Note: Alteration and/or deletion of data fields contained in the PPS may result in the offeror being eliminated from further consideration.

CAUTION: Offerors are cautioned that the FAA may use the data provided by other sources in evaluating past performance. Offerors will be given an opportunity to rebut information considered negative and relevant to the evaluation. While the FAA may consider data from other sources, the burden of providing thorough and complete past performance data rests with the

Offeror.
