About this opportunity
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an Intent to Award Special Notice regarding a single-source contract for an engineering and construction industry standards subscription with Allium US Holding LLC, operating as Accuris. Posted on November 6, 2025, this announcement informs industry of the FAA's basis for procuring services on a non-competitive basis rather than through open competition. The contract will consist of a base year plus two one-year option periods. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Technical Operations Services division requires this subscription to ensure personnel have online access to the latest industry standards related to engineering and construction. This special notice serves to provide transparency regarding the FAA's acquisition decision and the justification for selecting a single source.
The FAA requires a comprehensive standards platform that meets three critical minimum requirements: a bibliographic records search function enabling users to locate industry standards regardless of subscription status and purchase additional documents as needed, a paid-access subscription providing the most frequently used standards the FAA has funded, and the ability to create custom collections of individual standards from various standards developing organizations rather than requiring wholesale purchases of entire standard sets. According to the notice, Accuris is identified as the sole provider capable of fulfilling all specified requirements. Interested parties have until November 12, 2025 to respond to this announcement. While this is a single-source acquisition, the special notice provides industry an opportunity to submit relevant information or documentation if they believe they can meet the stated requirements. No specific set-asides for small businesses or other contractor categories apply to this procurement.
