What is a Reimbursable Agreement?

• A Reimbursable Agreement is a legal document executed by an FAA Contracting Officer and a Sponsor under which the Sponsor provides funding to the FAA for materials, supplies, equipment, and/or services supporting the Sponsor’s initiative.

• A Reimbursable Agreement provides resources to protect the operation of the National Airspace System (NAS).
