- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a requirement for the continuation of licensing and maintenance support service of HP/Mercury software. The anticipated Firm-Fixed Price Contract has a period of three (3) years, a base year with two (2) one-year option periods. The FAA, Air Traffic Organization, Facilities/Technical Operations, is conducting a Market Survey to determine interest in providing the above service.

The Contractor must be an HP Authorized Services Management Partner (ASMP-S) that provides service from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (8 hours a day), Monday through Friday (5 days a week), excluding Federal holidays. At the time of call-in, if an issue/s is not resolved, the support center must provide call back within two hours of the initial call. 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, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program.
