FAA AST Environmental Support Services Final SIR Amd 2

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Commercial Space Transportation (AST) is seeking a single prime contractor to provide expert consultative services in environmental compliance and analysis to support commercial space launch and reentry licensing and permitting actions. This Screening Information Request (SIR 693KA9-26-R-00009), amended on March 5, 2026, solicits services including reviewing and commenting on environmental documentation, conducting environmental studies and analyses, supporting public and stakeholder outreach, and maintaining electronic records of environmental documentation. The contractor must possess substantial expertise in NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) compliance, with required staffing ranging from a Principal Consultant/Program Manager with 15 years of NEPA experience and 8 years of program management experience to supporting Clerical Assistants. The evaluation will use a best value trade-off approach, weighted most heavily toward technical capability (staffing plan and technical expertise), followed by past performance (three relevant examples from projects completed within four years prior to the March 18, 2026 proposal due date, each valued at minimum $1,000,000 per 12-month period), and then price. The proposal submission deadline is March 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST, with clarification questions and answers already posted on March 5, 2026.

This procurement uses no set-aside designation and carries no incumbent contractor named in the solicitation materials. The contract is structured as a Time and Materials arrangement with a base year plus four optional one-year periods for a total potential five-year performance period. Pricing is based on fixed hourly labor rates by category, with the base year estimated at approximately $30,000, escalating to $32,472.97 in Option Year Four, resulting in a cumulative evaluated contract value of approximately $156,121.21 across all five years, plus reimbursable travel expenses (totaling $93,672.52) and Other Direct Costs (totaling $62,448.69). The total contract scope encompasses 54,857 labor hours across the five-year period. Work will be performed in Washington, DC 20591, at the FAA's headquarters, though the FAA clarified that all work may be performed remotely at the contractor's facility except when specific on-site access is expressly required, with bi-monthly meetings conducted virtually.
