Aviation Climate Assessment Survey System (ACASS) Services

The Department of Defense’s NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego, supporting Commander Naval Air Forces, is soliciting proposals under a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside for a firm-fixed-price contract to provide Aviation Climate Assessment Survey System (ACASS) Administration and Support Services. This solicitation, designated N00244-26-R-S004, follows the acquisition procedures for commercial services under FAR Part 12. The contractor will be responsible for the full lifecycle support of ACASS, a web-based system designed for collecting, analyzing, and reporting safety climate data within naval aviation commands. Services include system maintenance, software updates, survey request processing, data analysis, and delivery of reports to support safety climate enhancements. The contract includes a base year starting January 3, 2026, with four one-year option periods, potentially spanning five years. Performance will primarily be conducted at the contractor’s location in San Diego, with occasional authorized travel to government sites. Labor categories involve subject matter experts and functional analysts, both prime and subcontractors, with defined labor hours annually across the contract period. An annual travel budget of approximately $8,479 is allocated, requiring prior COR approval. Key personnel requirements emphasize advanced qualifications and relevant experience in naval aviation culture, with strict substitution controls. Inspection and acceptance are government-led, based on performance metrics outlined in a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, including timely processing and feedback on surveys, software fixes, and analytical issue papers. Contract administration incorporates government oversight through a Contracting Officer’s Representative, but detailed evaluation criteria, pricing, and FAR/DFARS clauses typical in Section I are either not present or pending in full documentation. Submission requirements call for capability statements limited to five pages, with registration in the System for Award Management mandatory prior to award.
