MARKET SURVEY for the Procurement of Instructional Support Services
NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE IN WRITING VIA EMAIL TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER. CONTACT INFORMATION IS PROVIDED BELOW.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA, Corporate Training Solutions Division provides theoretical and practical training on customer’s equipment and systems for field technical and operational experts involved with the maintenance, repair, and operation of such equipment and systems. Delivery of instructional courses is in accordance with FAA training procedures, guidelines, and methodologies. Instructors are required to follow prepared lesson plans and ensure stated course objectives are presented. Training classes will be primarily based at the MMAC, Oklahoma City, OK. This market survey should identify qualified and capable sources that can provide instructional support services for AMA-300 training. The current contract’s performance work statement (PWS), along with attachments thereto, is provided as an attachment to this market survey to inform and assist interested vendors of the technical work required. However, interested respondents are cautioned that the Government at its discretion may update and or revise this PWS for any potential follow-on contract.
At this time, the acquisition strategy and nature of competition has not been determined for any potential follow-on contract. The Government welcomes statements of interest and capabilities from all small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned small business, women-owned small businesses, and 8(a) certified firms, which can provide the required items and services. However, contract performance has historically been set aside and achieved by fully certified 8(a) businesses. It is the Government’s intent to sustain the 8(a) set aside should results of this survey conclude that it is appropriate to do so. Depending on responses to this survey and analysis of market research collected, the Government may, at its discretion, decide to pursue a full and open competition or set-aside all or part of the procurement.
