- Operational Requirements Table Procedure and Chart Capabilities Table System Capabilities Narratives Table REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY) Instrument Procedure and ATC Charting Development & Maintenance Software for United States Air Force Airfield Operations Purpose of Information Requested The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is for the Air Force Flight Standards Agency (AFFSA) to conduct a market research in accordance with FAR Part 10 and evaluate to determine available instrument procedure and Air Traffic Control (ATC) chart development and maintenance software. Our primary interest is in quantifying capabilities, TERPS criteria sets supported, ability to perform cyclic re-evaluation, data sources used by the software and ability to keep software updated to revised criteria, technology or changes to supporting data files. The intent of this RFI is to gain an understanding of available instrument procedure software programs currently on the market to assist Department of Defense (DoD) instrument procedure automation program management with decision making in obtaining needed capabilities for the future. Background The goal is to evaluate advanced systems capable of producing instrument approach and departure procedures and ATC charts developed using both FAA TERPS and ICAO PANS-OPS criteria. Both conventional ground and satellite based instrument procedures are of interest. Software will be assessed on how it will fit into current DoD instrument procedure processes, compliance with instrument procedure criteria, flexibility to allow procedure design outside criteria requirements, ease of use, output products and adaptability to DoD needs. The system must also be capable of retaining procedures and allow for the assessment of impact due to changes in the aeronautical environment. Of special interest is ability to evaluate and produce performance based navigation approach and departure procedures to include one-engine inoperative departure procedures.   RFI Responses Responses to this RFI must provide the following information: 1. Capability information by completing the Appendix A, B and C tables that includes: a) Appendix A - Identification of standard, available or optional capabilities b) Appendix B - Identification of procedure and chart evaluation capabilities c) Appendix C - Reponses to System Capabilities Narratives Tables The tables aim is to be comprehensive, but may not be all inclusive. Please include succinct narrative comments and statements that describe the requirements and capabilities in the comments section of the tables. Written responses to table C may be added as an attachment to the response. In addition, any information that helps clarify the capability and what level(s) of customization maybe required. 2. A brief history and explanation of the systems capabilities and application, including the website address(es) to obtain additional information about the products and services. 3. Historical performance information and point(s) of contact for whom the system was or is being developed.(Fill in attached Historical Performance Record) 4. Willingness to offer "no cost" product demonstrations or materials. 5. A rough order of magnitude of annual costs for 200-250 licenses and support services. Disclaimer This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or a Request for Proposal (RFP). All information received in response to this RFI marked "Proprietary" will be handled in accordance with applicable regulations and statutes. Responses to this RFI will not be returned. Information provided in response to this RFI will be used to determine the availability of commercial capabilities to provide initial, low cost screening of instrument procedure software applications. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the government to form a binding contract.
