- Description
- This announcement is a Market Survey. This announcement is NOT A SCREENING INFORMATION REQUEST (SIR) or REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). Further, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. Please read the entire Market Survey carefully. The Federal Aviation Administration has a requirement for professional services covering such areas as engineering support for; Wide Area Augmentation Systems (WAAS), Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) plus ground based navigational systems, airport lighting systems, logistics, business and material management. Examples include; technical support services to assist the Navigation Service Directorate in the planning, research, development, engineering, implementation, and sustainment of various navigation, landing and lighting systems and the transition to an integrated ground-based and space-based navigation system architecture plus anticipated NexGen requirements. The Navigation Services and branches are responsible for the assessment, procurement, and installation and decommissioning of the electronic, and visual aids that are used to provide guidance to aircraft that operate in the National Airspace System (NAS). This includes the navigation aids used by aircraft while flying from airport to airport and the landing aids that provide aircraft with the proper glide angle and alignment with the runway centerline while landing at an airport. These aids can be ground based as well as satellite based. Much of the ground based equipment, both electronic and visual, has been in use for many years. The FAA is aggressively pursuing programs to modernize the navigation and landing service, by constantly striving to improve the systems that are critical to the aviation community. New technology is being incorporated to enhance reliability, maintainability, integrity and accuracy. The engineering support services provided under this contract will include, but not be limited to, program acquisition planning, design engineering verification, financial planning, scheduling, documentation development, documentation analysis and reviews, procedural activities, system deployment, system installation operations research and analysis, and decommissioning activities. The FAA anticipates that the effort will require 50,000 labor hours a year in various professional, and technical types of activities and 40,000 labor hours in non-technical/engineering types of activities, such a business/program management, analysis, configuration management, logistics, database management and other similar activities. Examples of requirements are attached as Attachment B. All interested parties are advised the FAA will not pay for any information or any administrative costs incurred associated with any response to this Market Survey announcement. Therefore, any costs associated with this Market Survey submission will be solely at the interested party's expense. At this time, the nature of a future competition has not been determined.
