All documents attached are in DRAFT format and are subject to change if/when this requirement is released for official solicitation.

The FAA is currently contemplating a qualification-based source selection process to award one (1) contract.  The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from businesses interested in and capable of providing this requirement. Rough orders of magnitude are also requested for the FAA’s budgetary planning purposes. Respondents to this Market Survey are encouraged to provide comments regarding the government’s approach to this requirement.

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 will not accept proposals from this announcement. 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. This market survey is also being conducted in order to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside any resulting acquisition particularly among Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or 8(a) certified firms. Interested 8(a) firms should submit a copy of their SBA 8(a) certification letter, if applicable.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and size standards for this effort:

NAICS – 541330 – Engineering Services

Size Standard - $15M

The FAA requires interested vendors to address the requirements in the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW). This document is provided for feedback and comments.

Each vendor should include the following information along with their submission:

1. Capability Statement - This document should identify:

- Type of supplies and A&E services that are provided by your firm

- Size, type, and number of previous contracts performed which are of same or similar scope

- Number of years in business

2. Clearly state whether or not you can provide all of the services described in the draft SOW.

3. Expected programmatic approach (in-house, teaming, subcontracting, etc.) - Respondents should provide their strategy for accomplishing this work, including the percentage of work that will be done by subcontract and percentage of overall eligible small, service-disabled veteran-owned and 8(a) certified businesses. The FAA is particularly interested in whether responses indicate the potential offeror’s ability to, at a minimum, maintain overall project management of this requirement.

4. Please indicate if you possess an active GSA schedule which may provide this requirement (i.e. labor rates for A&E services). If so, please provide schedule number in response.
