Amendment 001- 1. Added the WMSS III Market Survey Question and Answer. 2. Changed the due date of the Market Survey to no later than October 8, 2015 4:30 p.m. EST. ______________________________________________________________ In accordance with Federal Aviation Administration Acquisition Management System (AMS) Policy 3.2.1.2.1 - this announcement is to conduct a Market Survey for the purpose of soliciting statements of interest and capabilities from interested vendors. This is not a solicitation announcement. This announcement is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Since this is a sources sought announcement, no evaluation letters and/or results will be issued to the respondents. The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from large businesses, small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and 8(a) certified firms, capable of providing maintenance and sustainment services for the Weather and Radar Processor (WARP) program. 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 Small Business Administration (SBA) for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program. The principle North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this effort is 541990, "All Other Professional, Scientific and Technical Services", with a size standard of $15.0M. Interested firms are required to submit the attached Business Declaration form and a copy of their SBA 8(a) certification letter, if applicable. The term of the new contract will be up to six (6) years, from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2022 and with an estimated total contract amount of $72.0M.

Do you have the capability to provide a Transition Plan that describes transferring all incumbent service capabilities with no interruption to any existing service(s) provided under the SOW?
