FAA responses to market survey questions have been posted. Please see the attached PDF. ************************************************************** 1. Introduction/Purpose The purpose of this Market Survey is to (1) inform industry of the Federal Aviation Administration’s requirement for acquisition, integration, logistics, and management support to the Fuel Storage Tank Replacement and Management (FST) Program, (2) conduct market analysis to assess the level of interest and capabilities among qualified providers of the required services as well as determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside the competition among small businesses, and (3) utilize inputs from the Market Survey to finalize the acquisition strategy. 2. Nature of Competition 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 along with soliciting comments from industry for the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW). The responses to the Market Survey will be used for information purposes only and will not be released, except pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Proprietary information will be protected if appropriately marked. The FAA will assess the responses to this market survey and will make acquisition decisions based on those responses. The FAA may decide to conduct a full and open competition or set aside all or part of the procurement for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program. If the FAA decides to conduct an open competition, it may limit the competition to only those vendors who respond to this market survey. 3.
