Electronic Federal Aviation Administration Accelerated and Simplified Tasks

The purpose of this announcement is to conduct a market survey to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from interested vendors in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) Policy 3.2.1.2.1. This market survey will enable the FAA to review responses that are current and will assist with acquisition planning based on the current data obtained. The responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only.

The FAA’s Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC), Oklahoma City, OK, has requirement for Operations Support and Engineering Services for the AJW-142 National Airway Systems Engineering Air Route Radar Systems (AJW-142), referred to as AJW-142, and it is the intent that similar support efforts will be provided to both organizations in their respective contract work assignments. The Contractor will perform work in support of civilian and military aircraft guidance and surveillance equipment and systems. A DRAFT Statement of Work (SOW) is provided as an attachment to this market survey to inform and assist interested vendors of the technical work required.

However, interested respondents are cautioned that the Government at its discretion may update and or revise this SOW prior to release of the SIR/Request for Offer (RFO) for the follow on contract.

At this time, the acquisition strategy and nature of competition has not been determined. The Government welcomes statements of interest and capabilities from all small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned small business, women-owned small businesses, and 8(a) certified firms, which are capable of providing the required items and services. Based on historical performance, it is anticipated that contract will be set aside and fully achieved by certified 8(a) firms. It is the Government’s intent to sustain the 8(a) set aside should results of this survey conclude that it is appropriate to do so. Depending on responses to this survey and analysis of market research collected, the Government will develop and refine its procurement strategy at its discretion, which may involve a full and open competition, a set-aside of all or part of the procurement, or pursuit of another acquisition strategy that the Government determines is in its best interest in order to fulfill its requirements.

The principle North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this effort is 541330, Engineering Services (Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons) with a size standard of $47.0 million.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR OFFERS. A SIR/Request for Offer may be made under a separate announcement in the future. The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing vendor responses to this market survey. Therefore, any cost associated with a market survey submission is solely at the interested vendor’s expense.
