The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is requesting information and/or capability statements concerning electronic Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) systems that are currently in use by Federal/State governments or private industry that would be compatible with Federal acquisition. This information will be used for planning purposes and may lead to vendor demonstrations of their CLM systems. Ultimately the results of this market survey and/or demonstrations could lead to an RFO. The FAA is interested in a CLM system that is able to provide the capabilities to perform as a central electronic contracting system with full contract lifecycle capabilities that includes, but not limited to, contract formulation, pre-award, negotiation, administration, and close-out. The CLM system will allow users will create, receive, and administer all contract actions through a user-friendly/intuitive and secure web-based interface.
