The goal of the amendments will be to ensure open communication with industry and obtain continuous feedback on updates to the draft SIR. The amendments are anticipated to include: FAA clarifications to general comments, additional FAA questions, the publication and updates to the Interested Parties list, updates to the draft SIR, and various other information. The purpose of this Amendment is to: 1.)Provide the following FAA clarifications. a.The FAA Market Survey announcement stated that the OASIS II (automation platform only) requirement would be incorporated in the scope of the FFSP SIR. To clarify, in the event it is determined that procurement under this contract is in the FAA ™s best interest, contract requirements will be developed and a proposal will be negotiated prior to the work being ordered under the contract. b.The PWS, Section C.1.3 states that œIf required, the Service Provider must provide: Automated delivery and notifications of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). To clarify, in the event it is determined that procurement of this service under the FFSP contract is in the FAA ™s best interest, contract requirements will be developed and a proposal will be negotiated prior to the work being ordered under the contract. 2.)Post the following additional questions for industry feedback. a.It is the FAA ™s current assumption that pre-Full Operating Capability transition costs will be captured in CLINs X001 and that operating costs and post-Full Operating Capabilities costs will be captured in CLINs X002, X003, and X004. Based on your planned transition strategy, when do you anticipate the FAA would begin payment for operating costs (CLINs X002, X003, X004) for the period between Initial Operating Capacity (IOC) and Full Operating Capacity (FOC)? Please provide a rough estimate of those costs per year from 2018-2020. b.To meet the objective of reducing staffing and associated costs, Draft Section J-9 included Acceptable Performance Level (APL) metrics related to Occupancy and Availability percentages. The FAA has considered establishing an APL that would measure the percentage of calls answered within a certain number of seconds. Please provide recommendations for metrics for the FAA to consider that would satisfy our objectives of reducing staffing and associated costs. Please explain how those metrics will meet these objectives. 3.)Publish the current Interested Parties List. Below is the current Interested Parties List of companies that have expressed an interest in the procurement and have requested that their Point of Contract information be made public: BMC Software Trey Rowan trey_rowan@bmc.com Distil Networks Carleton Robinson carleton.robinson@distilnetworks.com Evans Consoles Incorporated David A.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently planning the release of a final Screening Information Request (SIR) in the second quarter of FY2017 for the full range of flight services to users in the Contiguous United States (CONUS), Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The FAA intends to award a single contract from that SIR. In advance of the final SIR release the FAA is posting this draft SIR for Industry information and comment. The documents contained in this announcement are a result of the FAA ™s consideration of Industry comments received on the previous market surveys. The FAA is requesting potential offerors who are interested in pursuing this opportunity, in a prime contractor capacity, to submit a notice of intent to the Contracts Specialist listed below. A notice of intent is requested whether or not comments to the draft SIR are provided to the FAA. Failure to submit a notice of intent or respond to questions does not preclude a vendor from submitting a proposal to a future SIR.

Any costs associated with this Market Survey/RFI submittal is solely at the interested vendor's expense. I.PURPOSE This Market Survey/RFI is a continuation in a series of announcements regarding the Future Flight Services Program (FFSP). Since 2011, the FAA has released the following announcements related to the FFSP: 1.Market Survey 11279 - Industry Survey for Future Flight Service Program (FFSP) - November 2011 2.Market Survey 11872 - Direct User Access Terminal Service (DUATS) - June 2012 3.Market Survey 12393 - Future Flight Service Program (FFSP) Market Research - FAA/Industry Communication - October 2012 4.Market Survey 14575 - Flight Service Direct (FSD) - July 2013 5.Market Survey 23394 “ Future Flight Service Program (FFSP) Market Survey/Request for Information “ January 2016 The purpose of this Market Survey/RFI is to: Assess market interest and capabilities to satisfy the requirements for the FFSP Solicit industry feedback on the FFSP Draft SIR and FAA questions II.CURRENT DELIVERY OF FLIGHT SERVICES Currently, FAA flight services throughout the United States are delivered by a combination of the systems and contract vehicles identified below. All the contracts provide services in accordance with FAA Order JO 7110.10 Flight Services. 1.The Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) contract (DTFAWA-05-C-00031), with Lockheed Martin Corporation, provides the full range of flight services to users in the CONUS, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The contract provides certified Flight Service Specialists who deliver preflight, inflight and flight data services to users via telephone and radios. Lockheed Martin provides personnel, equipment and facilities for flight services under the AFSS contract. The FAA provides Lockheed Martin with access to and use of its air-to-ground radio and telecommunications infrastructure to facilitate inflight communications. 2.The Direct User Access Terminal Service (DUATS) II contracts (DTFAWA-15-C-00035 and DTFAWA-15-C-00036), with CSC Government Solutions (CSC) and Lockheed Martin Corporation, provides users with internet-based preflight services (self-briefings and flight plan filing) without the aid of flight service specialists. 3.The Operational and Supportability Implementation System (OASIS) II contract (DTFAWA-15-C-00006), with Harris Corporation, provides an automation system for the Alaska flight service facilities that enables FAA flight service specialists to provide weather briefing and flight planning assistance to general aviation pilots, as well as, emergency services, law enforcement support, regulatory information and other services. III.FFSP OBJECTIVES AND PLANNED ACQUISITION STRATEGY FFSP Objectives The FAA ™s Future Flight Services Program (FFSP) vision is to transform and modernize the delivery of flight services. The FAA believes that costs can be reduced by focusing on changing user behavior and migrating to automated, self-assisted service delivery models, while still maintaining quality of service and safety. Through FFSP, the FAA seeks to create a long-term contract vehicle and establish relationships with the Service Provider, industry and user groups to better position the agency to take advantage of user behavior changes and improved technology. Together, government and industry will work to realize three strategic goals: 1.Reduce the FAA cost to provide Flight Service, with a target reduction over 65%. 2.Encourage the use of technology, industry best practices, and authoritative flight data accessed through SWIM to improve efficiency and quality of service delivery. 3.Facilitate and gain stakeholder acceptance of changes in Flight Service delivery. Planned Acquisition Strategy The FAA intends to conduct a competition and award a single contract. The FFSP contract will replace the existing AFSS and DUATS II contracts. The FAA Draft SIR is structured to allow maximum flexibility to adapt to changing conditions to meet user needs. The FFSP Draft SIR will: Require the Service Provider to provide all facilities, equipment, and personnel to perform preflight, in-flight, and flight data services. Utilize a contract structure(s) that allows for the modification and/or phased elimination of services with associated cost adjustments over the life of the contract. Utilize a contract structure(s) to incentivize continuous improvement, the integration of new technologies, service optimization, and cost savings/sharing opportunities. Allow for commercial revenue opportunities (e.g., advertising) if there are cost savings benefits to the Government. Although, the FAA anticipates the OASIS II (automation platform only) requirement to be incorporated in the scope of the FFSP SIR, the FAA does not intend to replace OASIS at contract award. IV.INDUSTRY FEEDBACK The FAA requests Industry comments on the FFSP Draft SIR. The FAA also requests Industry response to the questions below. 1.The FAA seeks feedback on the CLIN Structure and Type and Incentive/Award fee provisions. Please discuss whether the Draft SIR will allow the FAA to achieve the stated objectives and the vendor to implement its business model. Do the Incentive/Award fee provisions reward innovation and drive increased use of technology? Please provide any recommended changes to the CLIN Structure, CLIN Type, or Incentive /Award fee provisions, along with the reasoning behind the recommendations. 2.The FAA recognizes user behavioral change is uncertain, however significant change has occurred over the last ten (10) years which is expected to continue. Please provide any recommended changes to the SIR that will allow the FAA and the Service Provider to realize benefit from additional behavior change and/or improvements in technology. 3.Please discuss any concerns you have relative to the affordability profile presented in Section L.17. Please discuss, conceptually, suggestions of how a pay down schedule of non-recurring costs could be structured. 4.Please discuss if and when a 65% reduction in FAA Operation Cost is achievable. If the government ™s affordability profile were increased, would the increase impact your ability to achieve the FAA ™s cost reduction objectives? Please explain. 5.Please identify any requirements in the Draft SIR that you believe may drive a higher cost or a delay to transition. Please provide your suggestions for alternate requirements. 6.Are the transition requirements and the transition constraints sufficient for you to develop the transition plan? 7.Please provide any suggestions for the test program requirements including the appropriate level of rigor for this service while not creating delay and/or excessive cost. 8.Do the FAA Security requirements constrain your solution or hinder the ability to achieve the stated FAA cost reduction objectives? Please discuss the specific security controls that will constrain your solution. Please discuss any specific recommendations you have to address the stated concerns. 9.Do you recommend changes to or additional Acceptable Performance Levels (APL)? Will the APLs ensure performance is met? Do the APLs affect your ability to innovate or the ability to meet the FAA ™s stated objectives? Based on your experience with call centers, what are your recommended APLs on measurements such as utilization and occupancy? Are there other APLs that should be considered? 10.Please provide recommendations for specifying service availability. Please provide any recommendations for specifying operational contingency. 11.Please provide any recommendations for additional flexibility in the contract structure. 12.The FAA is considering implementation of a Centralized Flight Planning service. Please discuss any impacts of this service to your proposed solution and/or business model. 13.Please provide any specific orders, policy and/or guidance changes that you recommend the FAA consider and describe how the change to the order, policy and/or guidance will impact your proposed solution and the FAA ™s FFSP acquisition objectives. 14. The FAA has provided additional transactional data in the Draft SIR. Does the transactional data provided in the Draft SIR provide enough information for you to develop your solution and proposal? 15.What would be the impact to your solution and cost proposal if the FAA were to require additional workload data such as time spent on discrete transactions (e.g. flight plans, standard briefings, etc. per call), and pilot metrics. 16.The Service Contract Act (SCA) will apply to the FFSP acquisition. SCA wage rates for Flight Service Specialist (FSS) were reviewed on numerous occasions by the Department of Labor (DOL) and in a May 21, 2007 Decision, the DOL concluded that issuance of a specialized SCA wage determination to cover the FSS working on the current AFSS contract was appropriate. The job category currently listed in the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations, 29000 Technical Occupations, 29011 Air Traffic Control Specialist “ Station, is the minimum wage established by the DOL: œWage and Hour Division (WHD) Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations 29011 Air Traffic Control Specialist, Station Receives and transmits flight plans, meteorological, navigational, and other information in air traffic control station to perform preflight and emergency service for airplane pilots: Accepts flight plans from pilots in person or by telephone and reviews them for completeness.
