- Description
- This public announcement is being issued in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Acquisition Management System Section 3.2.2.4. It is a survey, not a solicitation, to determine interest and capabilities of interested Small Businesses in providing support services to the Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS) located at the William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC). This system tracks, anticipates and manages the flow of air traffic throughout U.S. airspace, integrating real-time weather and flight data from multiple sources. The upgraded TFMS helps traffic management specialists predict, on national and local scales, traffic surges, gaps, and volume based on current and anticipated airborne aircraft. Traffic Management Specialists evaluate the projected flow of traffic into airports, sectors, and fixes, and then implement the least restrictive action necessary to ensure that traffic demand does not exceed system capacity. The WJHTC, AJP-78B Traffic Flow Management Production Center Team supports the operations, engineering, development, test, deployment, and maintenance of TFMS and other FAA Command Center Systems.The TFMS provides the functionality and architecture needed to take the FAA into NextGen, and paves the way for improved traffic management technologies. The modernized TFMS uses a state-of-the-art, open-architecture platform that increases development bandwidth, facilitates integration with other domains, and improves TFM performance and capacity. The new system will be able to expand to accommodate the anticipated growth in traffic in coming years.A predecessor contract, # DTFA03-01-D-00007, Delivery Order #7 was awarded to Lockheed Martin Corporation, a large business.
