Description

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking innovative solutions for the modernization of its application and database systems. The goal is to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and increase sustainability. The FAA is looking for feedback on its planned Challenge Based Acquisition (ChBA) approach and objectives, as well as recommendations for the optimal design and execution of the ChBA strategy and contract or Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) model. The FAA is interested in hearing from industry about their capabilities, platforms, and solution approaches, as well as their thoughts on the risks, constraints, and critical considerations for successful large-scale modernization. Some key areas for industry input include: • Acquisition and award structure • Platform and technology recommendations • Challenge structure and scenario design • Timeline and resource commitment • Participation and down-select process • Evaluation metrics • Cost assessment, labor mix, and estimating approaches • Risks and lessons learned

Budget estimate

$50,000,000 – $500,000,000

The document does not provide a specific budget amount, but it mentions that the FAA is seeking a fixed-price contract and/or OTA. The scope of the project is large-scale modernization of the FAA's application and database systems, which could potentially involve hundreds of millions of dollars. However, without more information on the specific requirements and scope of the project, it is difficult to estimate the budget amount. Based on the complexity and scope of the project, a rough estimate for the budget amount could be between $50 million and $500 million. This estimate is highly speculative and may not reflect the actual budget amount.
