Title: FAA Acquisition Management System (FAAAMS).
[[Page 79418]]
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on September 1, 2022 (87 FR 53283). No comments were
received in response to this Notice. 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 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. Activities for this information collection involve the
reporting of information. Responses are voluntary in some cases, but in
other cases are required to obtain a benefit (such as responses to
Requests for Offers leading to award of a contract). These information
collection practices aid in ensuring AMS compliance at large.
FAAAMS requires information collection through a series of forms in
the areas of (1) Solicitations and (2) Post-Award Contract
Administration. The specific information collected varies by the nature
of each form. It is important to note the FAA uses forms specific to
the agency. FAA uses forms similar to government wide standard forms.
The FAA forms differ from standard forms as they are tailored or
prescribed by FAAAMS. Though the forms differ, they do however largely
mirror their counterpart standard forms while containing minor
editorial changes to account for them being prescribed by the FAAAMS.
IC-1 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.
Respondents: Contractors with an interest in or involved with FAA
Acquisitions: 3,461.
Frequency: 1 time.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 3 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 10,383 hours.
IC-2 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.
Respondents: Contractors with an interest in or involved with FAA
Acquisitions: 30,177.
Frequency: 3 times.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 23 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 702,213 hours.
