Title: FAA Acquisition Management System (FAAAMS).
FAA FAST Home Page: https://fast.faa.gov/.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The FAAAMS establishes policies and internal procedures for FAA acquisition. Section 348 of Public Law 104-50 directed FAA to establish an acquisition system. The information collection is carried out as an integral part of FAA's acquisition process. Various portions of the AMS describe information needed from vendors seeking or already doing business with FAA. FAA's contracting offices collect the information to plan, solicit, award, administer and close individual contracts. FAA's small business office collects information to promote and increase small business participation in FAA contracts. AMS requires information collection through a series of forms in the areas of (1) Solicitations and (2) Post-Award Contract Administration.
Solicitations: The FAA utilizes solicitations to evaluate vendor-specific technical solutions, capabilities, and other qualifications such as subcontracting plans that may result in the award of a contract for a defined FAA need. The extent and nature of the information required from vendors varies depending on the nature of the goods and/or services procured, as well as the size and complexity of the FAA requirements.
Post-Award Contract Administration: Depending on the complexity and size of the contract, various activities are ongoing after contract award in areas such as bonds ( e.g., construction contracts), small business subcontracting ( e.g., applying to large businesses), the tracking and management of Government Property, and invoicing. Contract modifications vary from routine administrative updates to major additions of work.
