About this opportunity

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a market survey to identify vendors that can provide services related to the Air Traffic Skills Assessment (ATSA) testing used to screen and select air traffic controller applicants. The purpose is to determine if adequate competition exists to competitively award this effort. The FAA is seeking vendors with the capability to develop, administer, and manage the ATSA test, which is a critical component of the agency's process for recruiting and hiring air traffic controllers.

This market survey has no set-aside designation. There is no mention of any potential incumbent contractors. The FAA has not provided any details on the potential award value or budget range for this requirement. The market survey responses are due by May 23, 2024, after which the FAA will make a determination on the competitive landscape.

Notice text

In accordance with Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) Procurement Guidance T3.2.1.2, the purpose of this announcement is to conduct a market survey to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from interested vendors.  Responses will aid the FAA in its determination as to whether adequate competition exists to compete this effort.

The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) Office of Human Resource Management (AHR) is responsible for developing and managing the policies, procedures, and systems that ensure that the Agency recruits, hires, trains, and retains the right people to carry out its mission.  The Air Traffic Control Specialist (or more simply, controller) position is one of FAA’s Mission Critical Occupations (MCOs).  It is also our largest single job category with nearly 15,000 controllers serving nationwide.  It is essential that FAA maintain the highest standards to identify, screen, assess, and select the best controller applicants.  Toward that end, the FAA uses the Air Traffic Skills Assessment (ATSA), a pre-employment selection test battery, to identify candidates who have the highest probability of succeeding as air traffic controllers.  Each year, the FAA administers the ATSA to thousands of controller job applicants.
