Information Display System Version 4 Support Services

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center intends to award a single-source contract to Systems Atlanta, Inc. of Kennesaw, Georgia, for support services related to the Information Display System version 4 (IDS4) software. Identified by solicitation number 6973GH-22-R-00170, the procurement covers services for core and interface IDS4 software used on agency systems. This requirement is classified under NAICS 541511 Custom Computer Programming Services.

The FAA determined that contracting with this specific source is in the best interest of the government because all IDS4 software was designed, developed, tested, and certified by Systems Atlanta, Inc. under its Independent Research and Development Initiative. As the software is 100% proprietary to the company, the requirement is not available for full and open competition. This acquisition is conducted under the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) 3.2.2.4, as the agency follows its own policies and guidance rather than the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

This special notice was published on August 30, 2022, for informational purposes and is not a request for proposal. All questions regarding the announcement must be submitted in writing to Contract Specialist Shelley Howard by the response deadline of 5:00 PM CT on September 13, 2022. The notice contains no attachments and is documented under the 6973GH Franchise Acquisition Services office.
