The goal of the amendments will be to ensure open communication with industry and obtain continuous feedback on updates to the draft SIR. The amendments are anticipated to include: FAA clarifications to general comments, additional FAA questions, the publication and updates to the Interested Parties list, updates to the draft SIR, and various other information. The purpose of this Amendment is to: 1.) Provide the following FAA clarifications. a. The FAA Market Survey announcement stated that the OASIS II (automation platform only) requirement would be incorporated in the scope of the FFSP SIR. To clarify, in the event it is determined that procurement under this contract is in the FAA’s best interest, contract requirements will be developed and a proposal will be negotiated prior to the work being ordered under the contract. b. The PWS, Section C.1.3 states that “If required, the Service Provider must provide: Automated delivery and notifications of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).? To clarify, in the event it is determined that procurement of this service under the FFSP contract is in the FAA’s best interest, contract requirements will be developed and a proposal will be negotiated prior to the work being ordered under the contract. 2.) Post the following additional questions for industry feedback. a. It is the FAA’s current assumption that pre-Full Operating Capability transition costs will be captured in CLINs X001 and that operating costs and post-Full Operating Capabilities costs will be captured in CLINs X002, X003, and X004. Based on your planned transition strategy, when do you anticipate the FAA would begin payment for operating costs (CLINs X002, X003, X004) for the period between Initial Operating Capacity (IOC) and Full Operating Capacity (FOC)? Please provide a rough estimate of those costs per year from 2018-2020. b. To meet the objective of reducing staffing and associated costs, Draft Section J-9 included Acceptable Performance Level (APL) metrics related to Occupancy and Availability percentages. The FAA has considered establishing an APL that would measure the percentage of calls answered within a certain number of seconds. Please provide recommendations for metrics for the FAA to consider that would satisfy our objectives of reducing staffing and associated costs. Please explain how those metrics will meet these objectives. 3.) Publish the current Interested Parties List. Below is the current Interested Parties List of companies that have expressed an interest in the procurement and have requested that their Point of Contract information be made public: BMC Software Trey Rowan contact@example.gov Distil Networks Carleton Robinson contact@example.gov Evans Consoles Incorporated David A.

Provide changes to the draft SIR under FAA consideration for industry feedback (Note: FAA Orders and J-6 Specifications previously posted to FAACO have been moved to vendor unique SharePoint sites.) The FAA is considering the following changes to the draft SIR. The FAA is interested in any comments or concerns you may have regarding the following proposed changes: a. The FAA is considering a change to the draft SIR to reflect that CLIN X001 is available in Contract Years 1, 2, and 3 to correspond with the Affordability Profile in L.17. b. The FAA is considering an adjustment to the Period of Performance to reflect a 5-Year Base Period followed by five 2-Year Option Periods. c. Relative to the Draft SIR Section L.23.4 Volume V- Past Performance, the FAA is considering a change to the requirement. The new draft wording is shown below. Please state whether you have any concerns with this revision. NEW DRAFT WORDING: Using Attachment J.X, the Offeror shall cite and describe at least three (3) contracts (Government or non-Government) that ended no later than 5 years prior to the date of Final SIR release, with an annual value of $10,000,000 or more, for a system/enterprise of similar size and complexity to FFSP.
