Market Survey for Instructional Services supporting FAA Academy Technical Operations Training Division

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a Market Survey to solicit statements of interest and capability from sources that can provide Instructional Services in support of FAA Academy, Technical Operations Training Division (AMA-400). Additionally, this market survey is being conducted to obtain information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists; to identify capability among small businesses, SEDB/8a sources, and service disabled veteran owned small businesses; and, to identify those Small businesses that offer the services via federal schedules. The FAA Academy, Technical Operations Training Division (AMA-400), provides technical training via course delivery to students at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center. This includes theoretical and practical training in one or more subjects on assigned National Airspace System (NAS) equipment and systems for field technical experts involved with the installation and maintenance of such equipment and systems. FAA training procedures, guidelines, and methodologies are established for the FAA Academy and the Technical Operations Training Division (AMA-400). Historically, supplemental instructional delivery and development has been accomplished through the support of tasked contract services. The tasks require Instructors to deliver courses via prepared lesson plans and ensure stated course objectives are presented. The Instructors must utilize teaching methods such as lecture, lab demonstrations, blended learning environments, and remedial discussion. The instructor may use or develop teaching aids such as, but not limited to, lesson plans, student guides, lab guides, handouts, wall charts, prepared notes, and use of actual lab equipment. Contract instructors may also be required to provide support as subject matter experts in the development, revision, and maintenance of course materials, utilizing all applicable media. Potential sources of these services are expected to be categorized in the 611512 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
