I am concerned about the extremely short turnaround, you issued the announcement on 17 Feb, with site visit on 24 Feb 2016, with a proposal due date on 8 Mar 2016 which is a formal proposal consisting of Volume I, Business Volume, Volume II, Technical Proposal, and Volume III Price proposal. You also put a start date of 1 Apr 2016 which is not even the normal 30 days of review and going through legal. You also stated that "This solicitation is subject to the availability of funds". Are there funds currently available for this solicitation? Is this a new requirement or is there an incumbent that may also be bidding?

Unfortunately, considering our current fiscal environment we are regularly faced with limited funding and short lead times. Hence this requirement has not been fully funded. However, it is FAA’s anticipation that the requirement will continue to be funded into the next fiscal year and the subsequent Option Years. However, we cannot obligate nor promise the funds until Congress appropriates them. In short, yes this action is subject to the availability of funds. In regards to your concerns about the proposal due dates and the project start date, you are correct is not the customary 30 or more days but the requirement stands as is. FAA welcomes all interested eligible Offers for consideration. Please be sure to note the planned evaluation method and the instructions noted in Sections L and M of the SIR document. Also, in response to your inquiry about the incumbent, this is a renewal of Services and yes there is an incumbent but FAA does not know if the incumbent intends to bid on the new requirement.
