- Description
- This procurement is totally set aside for small business concerns. The contractor shall furnish all personnel, materials, equipment and the services necessary to perform the requirements in the attached solicitation. The period of performance on this requirement is 12-months. The FAA's Aviation Safety (AVS) organization that is responsible for promoting aviation safety by regulating and overseeing the civil aviation industry will issue a contract for its Aircraft Certification Service (AIR) organization located in Fort Worth, TX. The AIR organization is responsible for developing, administering and ensuring compliance to standards governing the design, production, airworthiness, and continued operational safety of civil aircraft and related components. Among AIR's most valuable assets are the knowledge, skills, and abilities of its workforce. This is especially true in the issuance of engineering and manufacturing approvals for aircraft design, related components, and production systems. Data generated during original certifications is used as a basis for design and production modifications, some of which may occur twenty or more years after the original approval. Currently AIR personnel are dependent on labor-intensive work processes and an archaic paper-based information system. These processes, combined with limited resources, could lead to decreased operational productivity and mission effectiveness and negatively impact management oversight of the AIR designees' workforce. In order to provide continued operational safety, AIR needs an integrated source of safety and compliance information and processes organized for easy, quick access, anytime, anyplace. Automated tools are needed for capturing knowledge and work metrics as part of normal work activities. Contemporary practices are required for increasing collaboration such as the use of electronic meetings to share project information. Automated tools are required for analyzing data to predict potentially unsafe conditions and for providing easily accessible management information. The Aviation Safety Knowledge Management Environment (ASKME) will meet these identified needs by storing AIR knowledge assets making them accessible, facilitating management and workforce decision making, providing a proactive system safety approach, and improving productivity in accomplishing the AIR mission. All responses to this solicitation shall be mailed to the following address Federal Aviation Administration, Attn: Annette Harkless, Contracting Officer, AMQ-320, P.O. Box 25082, 6500 S. MacArthur Boulevard, Oklahoma City, OK 73169, or submitted electronically to annette.harkless@faa.gov in either Microsoft Word, or portable document format (pdf). Please note that the FAA e-mail server restricts file size to 10MB per e-mail, therefore responses may have to be submitted in more than one e-mail in order to be received. Responses are due no later than 4:00 PM CT on January 29, 2007. NO TELEPHONE INQUIRIRES will be accepted. All Inquiries shall be in writing and submitted electronically to the following email address: annette.harkless@faa.gov (Reference market survey DTFAAC-07-R-00006), or faxed to 405-954-0042.
