Air Quality Assessment Phase 6

The Federal Aviation Administration, through the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is pursuing a sole source purchase order to Janicke Consulting for Air Quality Assessment Phase 6 to continue airport-specific emissions modeling using the proprietary LASPORT platform, which integrates LASat for airPORTs and is exclusively controlled by Janicke Consulting. This effort supports FAA and ICAO/CAEP initiatives to assess aircraft emissions impacts on air quality at three major U.S. airports—Boston Logan, Cleveland Hopkins, and Washington Dulles—ensuring technical continuity with prior Phases 1 through 5 and validating model outputs against U.S. regulatory frameworks including the Clean Air Act and National Environmental Policy Act, while leveraging LASPORT’s established compliance with German environmental standards. The period of performance runs from the date of award through March 31, 2027, with all work to be performed at the Volpe Center in Cambridge, MA, and the Government retains responsibility for inspection and acceptance based on adherence to international guidelines and regulatory applicability criteria. The acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unique proprietary nature of LASPORT, which cannot be replicated or accessed by any other contractor, making competition impossible and necessitating exclusive reliance on Janicke Consulting for model integrity, data consistency, and regulatory validation. No contract value is disclosed, no formal evaluation factors or competitive procedures apply, and no additional contract clauses, attachments, representations, certifications, or detailed packaging requirements are provided in the solicitation. Payment processing and contracting oversight details are limited to the Volpe Center as the administrative office, with no named contracting officer, COR, or invoicing system specified.
