AI Contract Overview
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a market survey to identify vendors capable of providing Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) training scheduling and resource management software to support the planning, development, and management of annual in-person and virtual training programs. The goal is to locate a commercially available system that automates course and resource scheduling, detects conflicts such as double-booked instructors or facilities, supports hybrid training environments, and provides enterprise-wide reporting and capacity planning capabilities. Custom software development is explicitly excluded; only existing COTS products are acceptable. Respondents must submit a capability statement that includes the product name, COTS confirmation, scheduling and resource allocation functionality, hosting model, FedRAMP authorization status if cloud-based, implementation timeline, non-binding pricing estimate, and detailed past performance examples, particularly from federal contracts. All vendors are required to provide their SAM UEI number and indicate their business size status as small or other than small, with specific encouragement for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and 8(a)-certified firms to respond to help the FAA determine whether to set aside any future procurement for those categories. The survey is not a solicitation, request for proposal, or binding contract; no financial compensation will be provided for responses, and all costs associated with preparing submissions are the sole responsibility of the vendor. Responses must be sent via email to Shelley.A.Howard@faa.gov no later than 5:00 p.m. Central Time on May 22, 2026, with no telephone inquiries permitted. The FAA’s contracting office is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the primary place of performance is there, though training delivery may occur in-person or virtually across multiple locations. Vendors must specify their geographic capability to deliver training. While technical requirements emphasize FedRAMP-compliant cybersecurity, role-based access control, audit trails, and support for integrating with existing learning management systems, no formal evaluation criteria, contract clauses, pricing line items, payment details, inspection standards, or delivery schedules are included at this stage. The NAICS code for this effort is 541513, and the solicitation number is 6973GH-26-R-TrainingSoftware. The outcome of this market survey will inform the FAA’s decision on whether a full and open procurement or a small business set-aside is appropriate, but no contract award is guaranteed or anticipated as a direct result of this survey.
