Although the Program achieved a favorable IID, the TFDM program must continue to seek opportunities to increase its affordability and benefit/cost ratio. The first step in achieving this goal is performing RFI #3. 2. AVIATION INDUSTRY FORUM 2014 FAA is considering any and all options for structuring the SIR at this time and seeks the input from industry regarding specific risks, and benefits of acquisition strategies. In addition to this RFI, the TFDM program office may release updates and or draft version of the Statement of Work for industry comment prior to releasing any future SIR or RFP. Any and all future releases will be posted on the FAA Contract Opportunities website (FAACO) https://faaco.faa.gov/) and the FAA-TFDM program web site. http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/pmo/proj/tfdm/ TFDM program information, general scope, high level service and system requirements, and initial plans will be presented to industry as part of the FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Program Management Organization (PMO) Industry Forum on April 23 and 24, 2014. The TFDM information presented during this 2-day forum event will be available from the TFDM program office web site. 3.
