Opportunity

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 692M15 Acquisition & Grants office issued solicitation DTFACT-17-R-00028 to procure flight testing services for the William J. Hughes Technical Center. This requirement is classified under NAICS 541380 Testing Laboratories and Services and PSC code A. The acquisition utilizes a tiered evaluation approach under the SBP (SBP) set-aside, where proposals are first evaluated from small businesses meeting the $15 million size standard. If an award cannot be made to a small business, the agency will then consider proposals from other than small business concerns.

The performance scope was updated via amendment to omit all references to the FAA Engineering Indoctrination Course, while the primary Statement of Work is contained within Section C of the Screening Information Request. Due to distribution restrictions, specific testing plans are not available online and must be requested directly from the primary point of contact, Lori McLaughlin. Proposing contractors must maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management at the time of submission.

The response deadline for this opportunity was June 30, 2017. The solicitation record includes three attachments titled FAA Contract Opportunities (official record) posted between May 25, 2017, and June 29, 2017. All proposal instructions, including specific submission times, are detailed in Section L of the solicitation documentation.
