The purpose of this market survey announcement is to solicit capability statements from interested companies. (2) NATURE OF COMPETITION This Market Survey is conducted, in part, to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside the competition among small businesses, including small business socioeconomic categories. With that said, this Market Survey is intended to seek information from interested Offerors of all sizes and types. The acquisition strategy for the procurement has not been determined at this time. The determination for the level of competition will be based on the results of this market survey. The FAA may decide to do an unrestricted competition or a set-aside with a small socioeconomic business. (3) PROCUREMENT DESCRIPTION Phase I -Draft Statement of Work (SOW) Attachment I is provided as a means of outlining the broad scope of the work.
