698KA8-DDLS-MS_Question_and_Answer_Form.docx

The document is a Question and Answer Form for a Domestic Datalink Services (DDLS) Market Survey issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The form provides a template for vendors to submit comments, questions, and feedback regarding the market survey, with columns for tracking the artifact reference, specific comments, team feedback, recommended FAA responses, and actions taken. The market survey is designed to gain market insights and assess capabilities for fulfilling requirements outlined in two attachments: a Draft DDLS Statement of Work (SOW) and a Data Communications Network Service Description.

The market survey is explicitly not a solicitation, Request for Proposal (RFP), or Screening Information Request (SIR), but rather a market analysis to understand potential vendor capabilities. Participation is voluntary, and the FAA will not reimburse vendor response costs or issue evaluation results. The agency reserves the right to conduct one-on-one communications with respondents and is not committed to any specific acquisition approach. Vendors responding to this market survey are neither automatically qualified nor disqualified from potential future solicitations related to Domestic Datalink Services.
