About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Transportation's John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center is procuring technical support services for the development and enhancement of the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT), which supports the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Environment and Energy and the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) initiative. The procurement focuses on extracting and validating trajectory data using Performance Data Analysis and Reporting System (PDARS) capabilities, building upon detailed work previously completed in aircraft noise measurement, analysis, emissions modeling, and ambient air quality assessment. The contractor must demonstrate expertise in PDARS data extraction and acceptance by the AEDT development team as a qualified provider. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on November 18, 2025, with a due date of November 19, 2025, providing a compressed timeline for interested parties to respond or submit inquiries.
This procurement is not utilizing any set-aside designations and is intended to be awarded on a sole-source basis to ATAC Corporation, which has been the sole organization performing original PDARS extraction work through its proprietary SkyView tool and has been accepted by the AEDT development team for this validation trajectory data extraction effort. ATAC Corporation represents the incumbent contractor with established expertise and proprietary capabilities in this specialized area. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify an explicit award value or budget range in the available documentation, though the work represents a continuation of ongoing technical support services that the Volpe Center has provided to the FAA for several decades. The compressed timeline between posting and due date suggests this is a streamlined procurement process reflecting the established relationship and technical requirements specific to ATAC's existing capabilities.
