The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Sources Sought/Request for Information (RFI) for the Program Management Office (PMO) Technical Assistance Contract (PTAC). This RFI, identified by Notice ID 693KA9-26-R-00002, seeks to gather information from various businesses, including small and large concerns, to support the FAA's Air Traffic Organization (ATO) with technical and professional services. The objective is to obtain a broad range of services for PMO operations. This is not a request for proposals, and the FAA will not compensate vendors for their submissions. Responses will help the FAA determine the acquisition strategy, potentially leading to an unrestricted competition or a set-aside for small businesses. Interested vendors should submit a capabilities statement in PDF format, not exceeding twenty pages, to Stephanie McKnight-Bailey, the primary point of contact.
