These services cover such areas as engineering support, logistics, training, operations research and analysis, requirements development and analysis, business and material management. Examples include technical support services to assist in the planning, research, development, engineering, implementation, sustainment, and decommissioning of various navigation, landing and lighting systems. Interested vendors are also encouraged to submit feedback regarding the attached Draft Statement of Work (SOW). At this time, the nature of this competition has not been determined. In accordance with paragraph 3.2.1.2.1 of the FAA's Acquisition Management System (AMS), this market survey is also being conducted in order to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition would exist if this acquisition were set aside for small business. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes for these efforts are 541330, 541511, 541611, 541614, 561110, and 541990.

Also, provide company size, capabilities, and previous experience in providing similar services. All interested parties are advised that the FAA will not pay for any information or any administrative costs incurred associated with any response to this Market Survey announcement. Therefore, any costs associated with this Market Survey submission will be solely at the interested party's expense. Failure of a sufficient number of adequately qualified firms to respond to this survey may result in a competitive procurement open to all businesses, instead of being a small business set aside. Any information provided under this request for comments is for informational purposes only and will not be released to the public. Any proprietary information submitted must be adequately marked as proprietary and will be protected if appropriately marked. 2.
