**ASSOCIATE ADMINISTRATION FOR AVIATION SAFETY (AVS)**

**NEXT GENERATION AIR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (NEXTGEN) INITIATIVES
SUPPORT SERVICES**

1.  **INTRODUCTION**

The 108th Congress and the President took the critical first step toward
transforming our air transportation system by passing and signing into
law Vision 100 -- Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act. This
legislation called for a unique coalition of public and private
partnerships to lead this historic effort to establish a clear direction
for the transformation of NextGen through an evolutionary planning. This
will provide the necessary framework to achieve NextGen goals and
realize the full benefits of complex investments while assuring the
protection of public safety, security, and environment.

Achieving the vision of NextGen requires us to open our minds to new
possibilities, embrace new approaches and create new ways to work
together. To secure America's place as a global leader in aviation's
second century, we need an air transportation system that supports a
strong commercial capability, facilitates private-sector expansion, and
creates jobs. For that purpose our strategies are centered on Eight Key
and Globally Harmonized Capabilities as follows:

-   Network-Enabled Information Access

-   Performance-Based Operations and Services

-   Weather-Assimilated Decision-Making

-   Layered Adaptive Security

-   Broad-Area Precision Navigation

-   Aircraft Trajectory-Based Operations

-   Equivalent Visual Operations

-   Super Density Operations

**3.0 SCOPE**

This effort provides services to support the many safety related
programs under the Associate Administration for Aviation Safety (AVS)
and other FAA lines of business as required. The activities required to

**18.0 PHASE-IN/PHASE-OUT**

PHASE IN

A 30-day period from the effective date of the contract will be the
phase-in portion of the contract. The contractor will use that time for
staffing field offices and implementing those operating procedures under
the contract described in the required Orientation Plan. The Contractor
shall be allowed access to the facilities to familiarize supervisors,
key personnel and staff with equipment, reporting, work scheduling and
procedures. However, such access will not interfere with the production
efforts of current contract personnel. To preclude such interference,
arrangements for access to the Government facilities will be made with
the CO.

**PHASE-OUT**

Should the FAA award a follow-on contract to this contract, the
contractor agrees to cooperate with the FAA and the follow-on contractor
to insure a smooth transition to the new contract. During the phase-out
familiarization period, the incumbent shall be fully responsible for all
current task order services. In the event the follow-on contract is
awarded to other than the incumbent, the incumbent Contractor shall
cooperate to the extent required to permit an orderly change over to the
successful Contractor. With regard to the successor Contractor's access
to incumbent employees, a recruitment notice may be placed in each
facility. At the conclusion of any performance period, including option
periods or extensions, the services provided under this contract may be
awarded to another contractor. The contractor in place shall be required
to assist in the phase-in activities.
