COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT UNKNOWN

If it does, the FAA may decide to do a full and open competition or set aside all or part of the procurement for small businesses, Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), 8(a), or Socially Disadvantaged Businesses. The FAA intends to primarily use the responses to this announcement, or lack thereof, to determine if a competitive environment exists, and if so, whether a set-aside is appropriate in accordance with the FAA Small Business Program and in the best interest of the FAA.
If a competitive environment can be determined to exist, the FAA intends to award one Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for this requirement to the lowest priced offeror determined to be responsible in accordance with Acquisition Management System (AMS) Procurement Guidance T3.2.2.7(A)(1).
