**GENERAL INFORMATION:**

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Mike Monroney Aeronautical
Center (MMAC), is conducting a Market Survey/Request for Information to
improve the Government's understanding of the current marketplace and to
identify qualified and capable sources. This announcement is not a
Screening Information Request (SIR) or a Request for Proposal (RFP) of
any kind. Interested sources must respond with information to confirm
evidence of their qualifications and capabilities to meet requirements
in the attached description. The FAA intends to review all response
submittals to establish the acquisition strategy. Responses to this
market survey will be used to develop the Source List to be used when
the solicitation for this requirement is issued, and will be used to
determine if there is adequate competition to set the requirement aside
for Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Businesses (SEDB) or Small
Business, or open it up for full and open competition. Any interested
sources may respond to this market survey. The information identified
from this market survey may result in a restricted Screening Process
when the RFP is issued. All decisions will be made based on the
information provided by vendors responding to this market survey. This
survey is being conducted in accordance with FAA Acquisition Management
System (AMS) Section 3.2.1.2.1. This survey will support market research
obtained from multiple sources and will be utilized for planning
purposes only.

BACKGROUND:

The mission of the FAA's Radar Product Division is to provide logistics
support for all FAA ATC Radar systems as well as Radar systems within
other Government agencies and internationally. Fulfillment of this
requirement is an essential component of the Radar Product Division's
goal of upgrading the antenna test range.

This requirement is for all labor, materials, equipment, etc. necessary
for the acquisition and delivery to the Mike Monroney Aeronautical
Center (MMAC) in Oklahoma City of a new JLG 1250AJP Articulating Boom
Lift. The new lift will support the repair, test, and certification of
NAS antenna systems for the FAALC. The boom lift will be used to test
alignments that are inaccessible by climbing. ***Note that the FAA will
accept a brand other than JLG if the boom lift proposed provides the
same form, fit, and function of the JLG 1250 AJP Articulating Boom
Lift.***

The minimum requirements for the new lift are as follows:

**1.** One (1) JLG 1250 AJP articulating boom lift **-- OR EQUAL -**
with WD, diesel engine, AC receptacle in platform, and Nite Bright
Package.

**2.** Boom shall be 125' articulating boom.

The FAA intends to award a one-time fixed-price contract to fulfill the
above requirements.

The NAICS CODE(s) applicable to this requirement will be 532412,
Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery Equipment Rental and
Leasing, with a Small Business Size Standard of \$7 Million, and/or
532490, Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental
and Leasing, with a Small Business Size Standard of \$7 Million.

Responses to this market survey may also be used to determine if there
is adequate competition to set the requirement aside for Small
Businesses, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, or the 8(a)
program in lieu of opening the acquisition up for full and open
competition.

All interested vendors are advised that the FAA will not pay for any
information or any administrative costs incurred that are associated
with any response received from industry in response to this **Market
Survey/Request for Information**. Therefore, any costs associated with
