- Description
- The purpose of this announcement, in accordance with the FAA Acquisition Management System (FAAAMS) paragraph 3.2.2.4 to inform industry of the basis of the FAA ™s decision to contract with AgentFly Technologies via single source procedures. AgentFly is an agent-based, fast-time simulation model that focuses on human modeling and air traffic control (ATC) tasks. AgentFly Technologies Inc. is currently the developer of AgentFly and has exclusive rights to the development and support of the AgentFly tool. The FAA conducts research and validation studies on current National Airspace System (NAS) capabilities, Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) concepts, including but not limited to Trajectory Based Operations (TBO), and New Entrants such as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Commercial Space Operations (CSO). One aspect of the research is the use of the Agent based software, AgentFly, to simulate ATC and various aspects of the NAS, NextGen, and New Entrants. This effort aims to enhance an agent-based simulator for use with NextGen projects. AgentFly is a unique tool in the fast-time simulation realm that provides a realistic environment for NAS-wide modeling and simulation of En-Route air traffic, New Entrants, and air traffic controller duties. AgentFly is currently integrated into the WJH Technical Center labs and enhancements are required to obtain a fully functional simulation capability. A full and open competition is not available for this requirement. If your firm does not agree with the single source determination, please provide evidence of your firms ™ capabilities and experience providing the above services. The FAA will evaluate them accordingly. All responses to this announcement must be directed to kimberly.a.knight@faa.gov no later than 2PM EST Standard Time, April 30, 2019.
