THIS POSTING IS BEST VIEWED AT, HTTPS://FAACO.FAA.GOV. 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 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC), Oklahoma City, OK, has an ongoing requirement for engineering, computer, and administrative support in support of power, navigational aids, communications, surveillance, and weather systems. The support is predominantly hardware and software engineering services involved in the acquisition, restoration, maintenance, and modification of ground-based NAS equipment throughout the United States and some overseas sites. Contractor management and personnel will be primarily based at the MMAC, Oklahoma City, OK. A DRAFT statement of work (SOW) is provided as an attachment to this market survey to inform and assist interested vendors of the technical work required. However, interested respondents are cautioned that the Government at its discretion may update and or revise this SOW prior to release of the SIR/Request for Offer (RFO) for the follow on contract. At this time, the acquisition strategy and nature of competition has not been determined for the follow on contract. The Government welcomes statements of interest and capabilities from all small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned small business, women-owned small businesses, and 8(a) certified firms, which are capable of providing the required items and services. Based on historical performance, it is anticipated that contract will be set aside and fully achieved by certified 8(a) firms. It is the Government’s intent to sustain the 8(a) set aside should results of this survey conclude that it is appropriate to do so. 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 Government intends to require that 100% of the work requirement be performed by the prime contractor without sub-contracting or teaming with other contractors for the contemplated follow on award for these services. Contract history and previous market research shows that multiple 8(a) firms have capability to perform 100% of the work requirement. Aside from the Government’s preference, interested respondents to this market survey are still required to show how the prime can meet the requirements of the Limitations in Subcontracts as defined in AMS Clause 3.6.1-7, Limitations on Subcontracting. The principle North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this effort is 541330, Engineering Services (Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons) with a size standard of $38.5 million.
