About this opportunity

The Federal Aviation Administration is seeking environmental support services through a Draft Screening Information Request (SIR) to provide expert consultative support for the Office of Commercial Space Transportation (AST) in environmental analysis of space launch and reentry transportation activities. The FAA requires services to facilitate compliance with NEPA and other environmental regulations for commercial space licensing and permitting actions, including environmental analysis support, review of license applications, development of environmental studies and reports, and public stakeholder involvement coordination. The contract will require seven labor categories ranging from Principal Consultant/Program Manager to Clerical Assistant, with specific education and experience requirements for environmental analysis and NEPA documentation work. The final SIR will be evaluated using a best value trade-off approach with technical capability being most important, followed by past performance, then price. This is currently only a request for industry feedback on the draft documents, with responses due by 1200 Eastern Time on August 21, 2025, via email using the provided comment matrix format.

This opportunity has no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The contemplated contract structure is a Time and Materials arrangement with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, totaling up to five years of potential services. The pricing worksheet indicates a total of 54,857 hours across all labor categories over the five-year period, with the FAA estimating $93,673 for travel costs and $62,449 for other direct costs. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) with a $19 million small business size standard. The government emphasizes this is strictly a request for information and feedback, with no proposals being solicited at this time, and all costs associated with responding to this draft SIR will be borne solely by the responding parties.
