The National Aeronautics and Space Administration-Ames Research Center is seeking sources and performing a market survey from qualified contractors for continued support services of the operation of the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS). NASA- Ames plans to issue a Request for Proposal for a competitive follow-on procurement for is Aviation Safety Reporting System. A performance based contract is contemplated for a one-year based period with 4 one year priced options. The ASRS provides information to the aviation community to assist in reaching the goal of eliminating unsafe conditions and preventing avoidable incidents and accidents. The principle mission of the ASRS is to acquire data concerning real and potential deficiencies in the National Aviation System and maximize effective use of that data in furtherance of the aviation safety and system planning. The ASRS has two primary aspects: one dealing with an incident reporting program and the other with research concerning aviation safety related data. The ASRS is designed to perform four primary functions: 1) communication with the aviation community to insure a continuing flow of data into the incident reporting system; 2) receipt, processing and de-identification of this data; 3) analysis of processed data and 4) preparation and dissemination of reports and other publications based on this data for the benefit of the aviation community. Another requirement is to support research and development activities as exemplified by the Aviation Performance Measuring System (APMS). The current purpose of APMS is to develop tools and methodology concerning aviation safety related data. Additional technical information on the ASRS program is located on the World Wide Web at the following URL: http://olias.arc.nasa.gov/asrs.
