FAA Flight Program Operations Support for Organization Designation Authorization (ODA)

O que a entidade adjudicante procura

Introduction: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking input from industry participants regarding the transition of its current Time and Materials (T&M) contract for Flight Program Operations support to a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract. This market survey aims to gather information that will assist the FAA in understanding the requirements and potential challenges associated with this transition. All attachments and information herein are subject to change if/when an official solicitation is released. Background: The FAA Flight Program Operations performs multiple missions requiring airborne operations, including Aviation Safety Training, Flight Inspection, Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, and Critical Event Response/Transportation. The current contract provides engineering, certification, Organization Designation Authorization (ODA), and project management services for aircraft modification, certification, continued operational airworthiness, and fleet modernization activities. This will be a follow-on requirement to FAA contract 6973GH-22-D-00031. The incumbent is Delta Engineering Corporation (SAM UEI: MJNYMCPK6M18). The preponderance of work under this contract is performed under a Labor Hour (LH) contract type. Objective: The objective of this RFI is to collect information from interested and capable vendors on the necessary data, methodologies, and considerations for transitioning the existing Labor Hour (LH) contract to a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) structure in compliance with recently updated agency acqusition policies and procedures. The procurement strategy, award methodology, and nature of competition for this requirement has not yet been determined. Responses to this announcement may be used to finalize draft requirement information, inform the development of a future solicitation, and/or to determine the FAA's procurement strategy whether to conduct an open and unrestricted competition, or set-aside this procurement, in part or in whole, to small business concerns. If interested in submitting a proposal for any resulting solicitation for this work, please make the FAA aware of your company's capability and interest by responding to this announcement. Preliminary Workload and Staffing Assumptions: For planning purposes, the FAA estimates an annual baseline of 4.0 Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) or 7,520 labor hours. The breakdown is as follows: Labor Category FTE Annual Hours ODA Administrator 1.0 1,880 Engineering / Flight Test ODA Unit Members 2.0 3,760 Project Manager 1.0 1,880 Total 4.0 7,520 The 2.0 FTE / 3,760 hours for Engineering/Flight Test ODA Unit Members represents an aggregate technical level of effort. It is not intended to require two specific individuals. The Contractor should provide the appropriate number and mix of qualified Unit Members and Flight Test ODA personnel based on the disciplines and requirements of each project. Estimated Workload: Concurrent active projects: 4–8 New STCs: 2–4 STC amendments: 4–8 Other certification/engineering actions: 10–20 Over and Above (O&A) actions: 5–10 Conformity/TIA/flight-test activities: As required by STC/STC amendment workload Conformity, TIA, and flight-test activities are currently workload-driven activities associated with individual STCs and STC amendments. The level of effort for future activities will likely vary based on the scope and certification requirements of each project. Flight Program Operations considers 4.0 FTE / 7,520 annual labor hours to be a reasonable preliminary baseline for market research and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) purposes. Vendor Statement of Interest and Capabilities: The FAA requests the following information from interested and capable vendors: FIRST - An introduction/overall capabilities statement of your company SECOND - System for Award Management (SAM) Unique ID THIRD - Recommended NAICS for this type of work FOURTH - Descriptions of current relevant certifications possessed by your company.…
