The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from interested vendors in accordance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) Policy 3.2.1.2.1. This information will be used by the FAA in choosing the method and type of procurement competition to be used to fulfill this requirement. The FAA requires copies of certification letters for interested service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB) or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA’s 8(a) Program.

The FAA may decide to conduct a full-and-open competition or set aside all or part of the procurement for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA’s 8(a) Program.
