Basis for FAA Acquisition Management System
In 1996 DOT Appropriations Act, FAA was directed to develop an acquisition system and exempted from all acquisition-related laws and regulations
Legislation stated the following provisions of Federal acquisition law shall not apply to the new acquisition management system:
Title III of the Federal Property and Administration Services Act of 1949 The Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 The Small Business Act, except that all reasonable opportunities to be awarded contracts shall be provided
to small business concerns and small business owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
The Competition in Contracting Act. Subchapter V of Chapter 35 of Title 31, relating to the procurement protest system. The Brooks Automatic Data Processing Act The Federal Acquisition Regulation and any laws not listed above providing authority to promulgate
regulations in the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) issued April 1996

Key Themes of AMS Procurement
Minimizes “how to” and encourages tailoring to circumstances
Relies on business judgment - but must have a rational basis supported by substantial evidence
Aligns procurement methods to complexity of requirement
Emphasizes empowerment and collaborative decision-making
Eliminates non-value added activities and arbitrary thresholds

General Benefits of AMS to Vendors
AMS strongly encourages communication with vendors
Provides vendors better understanding of FAA needs and FAA insight into vendor capabilities
Promotes transparency in source selection processes and decisions
Streamlined source selection and “down-select” decisions save vendor bid and proposal costs
Vendors unlikely to receive award are notified early during source selection process

General Benefits of AMS to Vendors – cont.
Internal FAA Office of Disputes Resolution for Acquisition
Protests and disputes resolved through alternate disputes resolution
Saves cost and time of adjudication through formal boards or courts
AMS contract clauses based largely on Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses
Vendors do not have to become expert in a different set of contract clauses; history of interpretation and case law applies to AMS clauses

General Benefits of AMS to Vendors – cont.
All information comprising AMS is online and in one location - FAA Acquisition System Toolset (FAST) located at (http://fast.faa.gov)

Small Business Contracting
Overarching policy is to provide small business reasonable opportunities for prime contracts and subcontracts
FAA must consider a small business set-aside before pursuing an
unrestricted contract For requirements over $100,000, product/service teams must
coordinate with the cognizant FAA Small Business Office staff FAA makes set-aside determination and contracts directly with small
business, 8(a), socially and economically disadvantaged business; and service disabled veteran owned small business and Small Business Administration is not involved
