- Description
- I. Purpose. The purpose of the SIR is to seek competent and suitable sources for the subject project. Responses to the SIR shall be used to screen qualified companies. Screening information allows the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to determine which offers are more likely to receive award, and ultimately, which offers will provide the FAA with the best value. The FAA has appointed an Integrated Product Team (IPT) who will evaluate each response received and make a selection of qualified offerors based on the evaluation criteria established in this SIR. The SIR evaluation process may involve negotiations with one or more offerors. The intent of these negotiations is for the FAA evaluators, or IPT, to clarify evaluation information submitted by the offeror. All offerors that are eliminated from the competition will be notified in writing. The acquisition is not set aside in any manner. II. Project Scope.
