The FAA intends to award a single Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Time and Materials contract with an initial twelve-month base period and four additional twelve-month ordering periods, creating a potential five-year contract duration. Individual task orders will primarily be issued on a Time and Materials basis, though Firm Fixed Price task orders may be used when determined to be in the government's best interest. The contract has an estimated maximum of 80,200 labor hours over its duration. All work will be performed at the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The government files do not identify any current incumbent contractors or specific award values beyond the labor hour estimates.
