Screening Information Request 697DCK-26-R-00423 is a competitive selection process for the Federal Aviation Administration's BEYOND Phase 2 program, managed by the Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Advanced Air Mobility Integration Office. This initiative seeks to award up to eight Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) to State, Local, Tribal, or Territorial (SLTT) governments to test and evaluate emerging aviation concepts. The program focuses on four programmatic areas—infrastructure, scalability, safety, and automation—and five operational challenges, including controlled airspace, on-airport operations, and cross-border flights. This is a non-funded process where participants are responsible for their own costs, and the period of performance extends through September 30, 2029.
Eligible offerors must be instrumentalities of an SLTT government, provide a letter of attestation, and maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Proposals are evaluated on a pass/fail basis for eligibility, followed by a holistic confidence rating of the Technical Submission Package based on goal specificity, innovation, alignment with FAA priorities, and the use of SMART methodology. Following several extensions, the final proposal submission deadline is October 30, 2026, at 3:00 pm ET. Submissions must be sent via email in PDF format, adhering to strict page limits and formatting requirements, including a 26-page limit for the main technical narrative.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a strategic sourcing procurement under SIR 697DCK-25-R-00302, known as SAVES, to competitively award up to eight multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for commercial off-the-shelf IT hardware, software, and related lifecycle services. The contract covers a broad range of products including servers, switches, storage, workstations, laptops, tablets, audio/visual equipment, printers, cloud services, and supporting product-based services such as asset recovery, warehousing, deployment, and maintenance. The procurement is DOT-wide and administered by the FAA’s Office of Finance and Management, with awards to be made using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, split into two pools: up to six awards reserved for small businesses meeting the 150-employee size standard under NAICS code 541519e, and up to two unrestricted awards. All offerors must have an active SAM registration by the proposal deadline. The solicitation requires detailed technical compliance, including ISO 9001 certification and authenticated OEM authorization letters, with eligibility determined by a pass/fail technical evaluation—failure in any technical subfactor results in rejection regardless of price. Pricing is submitted via government-furnished templates in Volume III and evaluated for reasonableness, not competitiveness against technical merit.
Proposal submission is restricted to electronic formats divided into three required volumes: Volume I (Business Proposal) containing the Schedule B CLIN/OEM list, Volume II (Technical and Past Experience) including certifications, past performance narratives and questionnaires, and Volume III (Cost/Price) using approved Excel templates. All documents must adhere to strict formatting rules, including Times New Roman 11-point font for narratives, PDF or Word 2019+ for most files, and Excel 2019+ for pricing models, with no password protection or hidden formulas permitted. The most recent proposal deadline is August 12, 2026, at 1700 ET, following multiple amendments that extended the date from the original September 18, 2025, deadline due to solicitation revisions and government delays. Attachments including the SOW, OEM authorization matrices for small and unrestricted pools, past performance forms, and schedule B CLIN lists have been corrected multiple times, with final revisions posted in Amendment 0010.

The Federal Aviation Administration is soliciting information through a Request for Information (RFI Number 697DCK-26-RFI-RDPP) to establish the Radar Data Pilot Program (RDPP), which aims to provide qualified state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) entities with access to sensitive National Airspace System (NAS) radar data feeds containing Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The program seeks to enable or enhance Air Traffic Management (ATM) and Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) services, particularly for operations above 400 feet AGL, and to test technologies that support safe and efficient integration of unmanned systems into federal airspace. Respondents must demonstrate a lawful government “need to know” for the data, with clear use cases and detailed Concept of Operations (CONOPs) addressing business goals, proposed radar data applications, geographic scope, technical approaches, operating procedures, key performance metrics, airspace plans, data systems, network connections, data management protocols, stakeholder engagement, and test timelines. All submissions must be limited to ten pages, submitted in PDF or Microsoft Office 365 format, and emailed by 3:00 PM ET on July 27, 2026, to the designated FAA contacts with a specific subject line. Participation requires execution of a legally binding Other Transaction Agreement and Interagency Security Agreement, along with compliance with stringent data protection mandates including NIST SP 800-171 standards, 32 CFR Part 2002, 49 CFR Parts 15 and 1520, and FAA Order 1600.75. Personnel must undergo criminal history records checks and other vetting, and all data access must be confined to secure enclaves with no sharing permitted with external UAS operators. The FAA will evaluate responses through its NAS Data Release Board using pass/fail criteria focused on functionality, operational feasibility, legal compliance, and data security readiness. The FAA will not compensate respondents for costs associated with preparing submissions, nor will this RFI lead to a procurement contract; the RDPP itself is scheduled to sunset on October 1, 2028.

The Federal Aviation Administration is conducting a Market Survey/Request for Information (RFI Number 697DCK-26-RFI-Non-Rotating Antennas) to gather industry input on commercially available and emerging non-rotating antenna technologies supporting the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) initiative and modernization of the National Airspace System. This initiative aims to replace legacy rotating antenna systems—including integrated non-cooperative-only and cooperative-only surveillance configurations—by eliminating mechanical components such as rotary joints, motors, slip rings, and drive assemblies, with the goal of improving system reliability, sustainment costs, detection performance, spectrum efficiency, operational availability, and multi-domain surveillance capabilities. Respondents must demonstrate capability with non-rotating antenna systems meeting a minimum Technology Readiness Level of 3 and Manufacturing Readiness Level of 4, operating within L-Band (1030 MHz, 1090 MHz), S-Band (2700–2900 MHz), and UAT-978 MHz (ADS-B) frequency ranges. The survey also seeks input on the potential to eliminate radomes in certain NAS areas.
Submissions are due no later than 3:00 PM ET on May 29, 2026, and must be sent via email to [email hidden] and [email hidden]. All responses must be in PDF format, not exceed five pages total, use Times New Roman 12-point font (10-point for footnotes), and adhere to standard 8.5" x 11" margins. The main document must be named “Market Survey Response – [RESPONDENT COMPANY NAME]” and include Attachment 2, the Comment and Question Matrix, labeled accordingly. Company background is limited to one page, and clarifying questions, assumptions, or concerns may be included as an appendix without counting toward the page limit. All proprietary information must be clearly marked as PROPRIETARY. The Government will not pay for responses or reimburse any costs incurred, will not respond to inquiries, and explicitly states this is not a Request for Proposal nor a binding commitment for future acquisition. The NAICS code is 334511, no set-aside is applicable, and FAR provisions cited on SAM.gov do not govern this action as the FAA operates under its own Acquisition Management System policies.
