About this opportunity

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking a contractor for the Common Support Services - Flight Data (CSS-FD) program, a modernization effort to enhance flight data management and exchange across the National Airspace System. The CSS-FD program aims to provide core flight data services, SWIM services, and data management capabilities, with a focus on developing software applications for flight planning, data feedback, and air traffic control preferences. The procurement will be a hybrid Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with multiple contract line item types, including firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, and time-and-materials elements. Proposals will be evaluated using a "best value" approach, with technical/management factors being the most critical, followed by past performance, price, and small business subcontracting considerations. Interested parties must submit written responses electronically to Contracting Officer Maria Ashby by 4:00 PM EST on December 23, 2024, with responses to be used for informational purposes only.

The draft solicitation does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documents. While precise award values are not specified, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541511 indicates a small business size standard of $34.0 million in average annual receipts. The contract is anticipated to have a base period of 36 months with 12 option years, suggesting a potential total contract duration of up to 15 years. The CSS-FD program will be implemented in two phases, with Phase 1 focusing on data management, flight planning and filing, and Phase 2 adding enhanced capabilities like preliminary flight plan submission and notification services. The contract will be performed at various locations including contractor facilities, the William J. Hughes Technical Center, and FAA Headquarters in Washington, DC, with the contractor required to meet specific milestones and deliver comprehensive technical documentation and software development deliverables.
