    Title: FAA Acquisition Management System (FAAAMS).
    FAA FAST Home Page: <a href="https://fast.faa.gov/">https://fast.faa.gov/</a>.
    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.

Solicitations

    Respondents: 3,461.
    Frequency: 1 time.
