- Description
- Announcement: 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 announcement is NOT A SCREENING INFORMATION REQUEST (SIR) or REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). Further, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. 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. The Principal North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541330, Engineering Services with a size standard of $15M. All responses (one per company) are to be provided on company letterhead and limited to a total of 20 typewritten pages. No type font less than 11 point may be used. Background: The New Entrants Division (ANG-C2) supports the evolution of the National Airspace System (NAS) by integrating research and development (R&D) to refine NAS operational requirements and influence NAS operational improvements and sustainment. ANG-C2 manages the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Improved Multiple Runway Operations R&D portfolios. This includes program management responsibility for the execution of relevant R&D to support Aviation Safety and NextGen requirements for UAS integration into the NAS, wake separation standards, closely spaced parallel operations, and ground based augmentation system cost benefit studies. This Division manages the FAA's Center of Excellence for UAS as well as the FAA's UAS Pathfinder project for aerial media coverage. Additionally, this Division has a leading role in collaborating with external domestic and international partners, such as the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL) to leverage relevant R&D to support the FAA's goals. The New Entrants Division (ANG-C2) also conceptualizes, investigates, and executes initiatives and capabilities that support transforming the NAS. This includes separation standards (e.g. wake turbulence). Wake Separation Standards is an area that continues to develop and needs to be investigated, and have appropriate standards, processes and practices defined and subsequently bridged from development to operations. Wake efforts are focused on reducing separation standards between aircraft to increase capacity and efficiency and are being implemented at Charlotte-Douglas Airport, JFK, Newark Liberty, Chicago O ™Hare, Midway, San Francisco, and George Bush Intercontinental and Hobby Airports in Houston. PURPOSE: This market survey is to provide information for the FAA to consider in choosing the method and type of procurement. The failure to obtain adequate and appropriate SBA 8(a) or other small business participation may result in a determination to conduct this procurement under other competitive procedures.
