Introduction/Purpose The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) Division of Policy and Innovation (AIR-600) has utilized Standards Development Organization (SDO) requirement provider firms since 1976 to support the development of standards for aviation safety. Those standards are the intellectual property of SDOs and are catalogued, maintained and distributed by them. Federal laws enacted by Congress encourage the use of industry consensus (voluntary) standards in federal government regulatory and procurement activities. Consensus standards adopted through this process are not approved by the FAA, but are instead “accepted.” Special committees are established in response to identified needs by government and industry. Committee meetings are held to develop safety performance requirements (standards) that are commonly used in Technical Standard Orders (TSOs), policy and guidance. The FAA has a requirement for a continuation of SDO membership services and inclusion in committee development of comprehensive, industry-vetted and endorsed standards and guidance used as means of compliance with FAA regulations, as it relates to the list of required committees attached to this announcement. In addition, the FAA has a requirement for continuation of unlimited portal access to workspace, current and historical standards in support aviation safety and performance objectives. 2.
