If you are viewing this announcement through Fed Biz Ops (www.fbo.gov), or any other 3rd party provider, attachments may not be available or viewable to you. The National Test Equipment Support will ensure the calibration of Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE). This requirement includes calibration facilities that are predominantly mobile, with fixed facilities for equipment unable to calibrate on a van. The FAA’s inventory of TMDE is located at FAA facilities throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) and outside the CONUS (OCONUS). The objective of the National Test Equipment Support Contract is to obtain a broad range of services required by the FAA to support the life cycle management of the TMDE required to maintain NAS systems, facilities, and services. The contract will allow the National Test Equipment Program Manager (NTEPM) and other stakeholders to ensure TMDE is calibrated within the specified interval referenced on the Calibration Cycle Requirements Table (CCRT). This market survey should identify qualified and capable sources that can provide the services described in the attached Statement of Work. Particularly the capability to provide predominately mobile calibration, along with fixed facilities in support of equipment located at CONUS and OCONUS sites. We will not consider any vendor to be responsive if they cannot display these capabilities. The draft Statement of Work (SOW), is provided as an attachment to this market survey to inform and assist interested vendors with regard to the technical work required. However, interested respondents are cautioned that the Government at its discretion may update and or revise this SOW for any potential contract or request for proposal. At this time, the acquisition strategy and nature of competition has not been determined for any potential contract. The Government welcomes statements of interest and capabilities from all businesses, which are capable of providing the required items/services. However, contract performance has historically been performed by a large business. Depending on responses to this survey and analysis of market research collected, the Government may, at its discretion, decide to pursue a full and open competition or set-aside all or part of the procurement. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR OFFERS. A SIR/Request for Offer may be made under a separate announcement in the future. The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing vendor responses to this market survey. Therefore any cost associated with a market survey submission is solely at the interested vendor’s expense. The principle North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this effort is 811219, Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, with a size standard of $20.5 million. The purpose of this announcement is to conduct a market survey to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from interested vendors, in accordance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) Policy 3.2.1.2.1.
