- Description
- ANNOUNCEMENT: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a Market Survey for the purpose of soliciting statements of capabilities from small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program, capable of providing Technical Support Services to the FAA. This announcement is not a Screening Information Request (SIR) or a Request for Proposal (RFP) of any kind. This technical support is for wake vortex modeling and studies to support the FAA's AFS-400, Flight Procedures and Technologies Division and AFS-450, Flight Systems Laboratory. BACKGROUND: The FAA Flight Plan and other performance plans require the FAA to safely incorporate new aircraft into the NAS, evaluate current aircraft wake categories, and establish an acceptable wake encounter standard. The current Aircraft Vortex Spacing System Predictor Algorithm (APA) model that predicts the evolution of vortices from aircraft needs improvement to fulfill the FAA's responsibility for safety and capacity. The improved model will be used to help set the wake separation standards for new aircraft and will be used to help evaluate proposed, new operational procedures. PURPOSE: The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from interested vendors. The principal North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this effort is 541712 with a size standard of 500 employees. This market survey is to provide information for the FAA to consider in choosing the method and type of procurement competition - full and open; limited; or sole source. The failure to obtain adequate and appropriate SBA 8(a) or other small business participation may result in a determination to conduct this procurement under other competitive procedures. The FAA requires the following information from interested small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program.
