The FAA contemplates a two-phase solicitation process may be used to first establish a qualified competition pool willing to execute Non-Disclosure Agreements for receipt of further technical data needed for cost/price proposals in the second phase; however, acquisition strategy has not yet been fully determined yet.   

Please note that responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. This is not a screening information request (SIR) or request for proposal (RFP) 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 use the responses of this RFI to decide to do a full and open competition or set aside all or part of the procurement for small businesses, service disabled veteran-owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program.

It is currently unknown if any sources are capable, but in the case that only one response is received from this announcement, the FAA may conceive that that there is not more than one source that is interested and/or capable and may proceed to pursue a single source award. As such, interested vendors are highly encouraged to submit a response to this announcement to ensure the FAA is aware of your company’s interest.
