Notice of Intent to Contract with a Single Source – HVAC Maintenance Training

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), specifically the System Operations Contracts office, intends to award a single-source contract to Telemedia, Inc., doing business as TPC Training Systems, located in Buffalo Grove, IL. This acquisition involves accredited, commercially developed, maintained, and delivered Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) training and certification. The program is designed to align the FAA HVAC workforce with nationally recognized standards and credentials. This requirement is classified under NAICS 611513 for Apprenticeship Training and PSC U006 for Vocational/Technical Education and Training.

The FAA determined that TPC Training Systems is the only source capable of providing the full range of required HVAC training courses while meeting a critical need for large training volumes within a short timeline. This action is conducted in accordance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) 3.2.2.4, which allows for contracting with a selected source when determined to be in the best interest of the agency. The FAA follows the AMS rather than the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
