The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) at the FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has a requirement for new manufactured batteries, NSN 6140‐01‐291‐6488, Part Numbers LD12‐100. The contract vehicle being contemplated is an Indefinite‐ Delivery/Indefinite Quantity type contract that will include option provisions to renew for four (4) additional one‐year periods.

This market survey is requesting information that will enable the FAA to make a screening decision to determine qualified firms that have the ability to provide these services. The FAA reserves the right to add incumbent contractors and/or other sources which meet the criteria and have performed satisfactorily on previous procurements.

The responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. This is not a screening information request or request for proposal of any kind. The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing the response to the market survey. Therefore, any cost associated with the market survey submission is solely at the interested vendor's expense.

At this time the nature of the competition has not been determined. The FAA may decide to do a full and open competition or set aside all or part of the procurement for small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program.

The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from small businesses, service‐disabled veteran‐owned small businesses, 8(a) certified firms, and all other business types and sizes, capable of supporting the requirement. This market survey is also being conducted in order to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to set‐ aside the competition among small businesses, service‐disabled veteran‐owned small businesses or 8(a) certified firms.
