Air Quality Assessment Phase 6

The Federal Aviation Administration, through the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is pursuing a sole source purchase order to Janicke Consulting for Air Quality Assessment Phase 6 to continue airport-specific emissions modeling using the proprietary LASPORT platform, which integrates LASat for airPORTs and is exclusively controlled by Janicke Consulting. This effort supports FAA and ICAO/CAEP initiatives to assess aircraft emissions impacts on air quality at three major U.S. airports—Boston Logan, Cleveland Hopkins, and Washington Dulles—ensuring technical continuity with prior Phases 1 through 5 and validating model outputs against U.S. regulatory frameworks including the Clean Air Act and National Environmental Policy Act, while leveraging LASPORT’s established compliance with German environmental standards. The period of performance runs from the date of award through March 31, 2027, with all work to be performed at the Volpe Center in Cambridge, MA, and the Government retains responsibility for inspection and acceptance based on adherence to international guidelines and regulatory applicability criteria. The acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unique proprietary nature of LASPORT, which cannot be replicated or accessed by any other contractor, making competition impossible and necessitating exclusive reliance on Janicke Consulting for model integrity, data consistency, and regulatory validation. No contract value is disclosed, no formal evaluation factors or competitive procedures apply, and no additional contract clauses, attachments, representations, certifications, or detailed packaging requirements are provided in the solicitation. Payment processing and contracting oversight details are limited to the Volpe Center as the administrative office, with no named contracting officer, COR, or invoicing system specified.

Aviation Environmental Deign Tool Development Support

The U.S. Department of Transportation, through the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, is seeking a sole source award to ATAC Corporation for Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) development support. This effort supports the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Environment and Energy in modernizing Performance Data Analysis and Reporting System (PDARS) extraction modules. The primary objective is to ensure accurate environmental modeling of aircraft noise and emissions by extracting validated 3D/4D trajectory data to support the FAA's NextGen initiative. The contract is awarded on a sole source basis because ATAC Corporation owns the proprietary SkyView software, which is the only tool accepted by the AEDT development team for this specific data extraction. The government has determined that transitioning to another vendor would result in unacceptable costs and delays, estimating that replication would take two years and cost approximately 640,000 dollars. The estimated value of this purchase order is 319,648.02 dollars, with the place of performance located in Santa Clara, California. Key deliverables include a fully functional PDARS extraction module integrated with AEDT and a final validation report, both due by September 2026.
