Acquisition Support Services Contract (ASSC) for all FAA Acquisition and Contracting Organizationsview on SAM.gov

UPDATE 05 - Last Update and Notice of Requirement Cancellation Released 9/4/2026 he FAA has decided that consolidating Acquisition Support Services contracts for various AAQ organizations is not in its best interest at this time and will cease pursuing this strategy. As of release of this update, interested vendors shoud not anticipate a solicitation to be released, award to be made, nor any further updates to this announcement. Current support services may or may not lead to follow-on contracts of the same scope and type. Decisions will be made by individual AAQs, likely favoring Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contracts where possible, and in accordance with applicable FAA procurement policies. This announcement will close on 9/11/2026 to allow vendors to access it during or after the Labor Day weekend. Please monitor SAM.gov for future FAA contract opportunities. The FAA thanks all vendors for their feedback and interest during this market research effort. (end of update) Update 04 Released: 8/18/2026 This announcement is being extended from 10/01/2026 to 11/01/2026.

FAA RESPONSE: Although the FAA's internal total estimated potential value for this scope is sensitive and will not be released, please note that it is significantly higher than $10M. This threshold has been carefully considered and is tentatively determined to be the lowest we can set to ensure an offeror has sufficient past performance experience comparable in magnitude, thereby mitigating award risk to the FAA. QUESTION 3: "Has the FAA made a determination as to the type of contract?" FAA RESPONSE: No. This is subject to change until the solicitation is publicly released. QUESTION 4: "The requirement states that annual reporting with performance ratings can be provided in CPARS. Although AMS requires CPARS, many of our customers do not complete them. Would the FAA consider accepting Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) instead?" FAA RESPONSE: If your company has performed contracts requiring CPARS reporting and needs CPARS submissions completed to be eligible for award, there is likely still time to have this completed before proposals are evaluated if you contact your re…
