About this opportunity

The Federal Aviation Administration has published a Special Notice announcing the completion of a Sources Sought process to establish a Qualified Vendors List (QVL) for construction services on AJW-242 Unstaffed Infrastructure Sustainment (UIS) facilities. The QVL covers construction work both on and off Airport Operating Areas across various locations throughout the United States. The notice has undergone multiple amendments since its initial posting in June 2025, with the most recent amendment correcting an error in the application form that duplicated a construction category. The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Franchise Acquisition Services is overseeing this procurement initiative. The approved contractors from the completed Sources Sought process are listed in an attached spreadsheet available on SAM.GOV.

The primary purpose of this QVL is to pre-qualify construction contractors for various infrastructure projects including work on communication facilities, navigational aids, electrical systems, HVAC installations, antenna towers, and related aviation infrastructure. The contract has a total estimated potential value of $500 million over five years, divided into Western, Central, and Eastern service areas. Due to an error in the original application form that incorrectly listed "Construction Services on COMM facilities/equipment" twice instead of separately listing communication and navigational aids categories, the application deadline was extended from August 29, 2025, to September 19, 2025, at 5:00 PM CT. Contractors must be registered in SAM.GOV and provide comprehensive documentation including past performance surveys, capability statements, and experience information for each construction category they wish to pursue. The solicitation specifically targets small businesses and requires contractors to demonstrate relevant experience with federal contracts valued appropriately for each service category.

**Update 9-2-2025**

There was an error on the Attachment 10.  QVL Application Form as of 6-5-2025 as it listed the "Construction Services on COMM facilities/equipment" category twice in error. A revised QVL Application Form has been uploaded, along with Amendment 3, correcting the duplicated entry to read as "Construction Services on NAVAIDS facilities/equipment (examples: MALSR, PAPI, VASI, REIL, ALS, VOR, etc.)". Both of the Construction Services on COMM facilities/equipment and Construction Services on NAVAID facilities/equipment categories should have been listed on the original QVL Application form.

The corrected file is listed as Attachment 10.  QVL Application Form as of 9-2-2025 and this is the file to be using for the QVL application form.

Due to this error, the due date of the applications, has been extended out from 29 August 2025 to 19 September 2025 at 5pm CT.
