Added: Apr 11, 2014 11:57 am Modified: Apr 14, 2014 2:24 pmTrack Changes The FAA has a requirement for software that assists in the creation, maintenance and management of building and facility engineering drawings, models and data over a building or facility’s life cycle. The solution must include Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD), Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Electronic Drawing Management System (EDMS) software licenses and maintenance; training; documentation; programming; and consulting support –as per the Draft Statement of Work (SOW) and specifications. Therefore, the FAA is conducting this market survey to seek potential sources capable of meeting technical and delivery requirements. Any vendor that believes it can provide these services is invited to submit a capability statement addressing its abilities to meet all of the requirements identified below and in the attached Market Survey - Draft Statement of Work.



This is anticipated to be a Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract with a base period of performance of one (1) year and four (4), one (1) year option periods.



At this time, the nature of any procurement that may result from this market survey has not been determined. The FAA may decide on a full and open competition or set aside all or part of an anticipated procurement for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program. The Principal North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) size standard code for this requirement is 511210 “Software Publishers” with a size standard of $35.5 million dollars.



All responses (one per company) are to be provided on company letterhead and limited to a total of 20 typewritten pages, excluding the Business Declaration form and SBA certification documentation. No type font less than 11 point may be used.



PURPOSE:

This market survey is designed to provide information for the FAA to consider in choosing the method and type of procurement competition. The failure to obtain adequate and appropriate SBA 8(a) or other small business participation may result in a determination to conduct this procurement under other competitive procedures.

c.Identify products provided under previous industry and Government contracts that are similar in size, scope and complexity to this effort (including contract number and agency/organization).

REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST:

The FAA requires proof of documentation from interested service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and from eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) Program.
