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. The FAA has a future requirement to provide Security Officer Services on a national contract level. The FAA performance area is the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and specific U.S. Territories. The period of performance is forecast to begin approximately March 31, 2012. Interested sources that are capable of providing both armed and unarmed Security Officer Services in accordance with the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW) should respond. The nature of the competition has not been determined. It may be necessary for the FAA to issue a short-term bridge contract (12-18 months) so that all security support requirements are met while the Government completes the competitive process. The bridge contract will be executed in accordance with FAA AMS Policy and Guidance. The FAA will evaluate the responses to this Market Survey and will make acquisition decisions based on those responses. 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) size standard code for this requirement is 561612, Security Guards and Patrol Services, with a size standard of $17 Million. The FAA encourages the use of the FAA Mentor Protg Program for this requirement. Information on the FAA Mentor Protg Program can be found on the FAA Small Business website at www.sbo.faa.gov through the Contracting tab. All responses (one per company) are to be provided on company letterhead and limited to a total of 15 typewritten pages. No type font less than 11 point may be used. PURPOSE:This market survey is to provide information for the FAA to consider in choosing the method and type of procurement competition. This is neither a screening information request (SIR) nor request for proposal (RFP) of any kind. The FAA will not accept unsolicited proposals. The FAA requires copies of certification letters for interested service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program. In order to make this determination the FAA requires the following information from interested vendors: CAPABILITY STATEMENT: All responders must provide a Capability Statement that addresses the following minimum criteria (in order): a.
