What the notice says
INTRODUCTION The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)'s Air Traffic Organization (ATO), Power Services Group (PSG) is conducting a Market Survey to ascertain current market conditions and vendor capabilities for a follow-on requirement for supply, replacement, and repair of battery systems at FAA National Air Space (NAS) facilities located in the United States and its territories. BACKGROUND The FAA�s PSG requires Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) battery systems and services to support NAS facility backup power requirements. The battery systems, equipment, and accessories must consist of COTS/… (show all)
Non-Developmental Items (NDI) conforming to requirements as described or as noted Attachment J.02, Battery System Equipment Characteristics. A Draft SOW and Draft specification are attached to this market survey outlining requirements with significantly more detail. Vendors are strongly encouraged to review the attachments for the best understanding of the FAA's requirements. The requirement is anticipated to be a five (5) year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract, consisting of a one (1) year base period and four (4) one-year option periods. The anticipated period of performance is subject to change at the FAA�s discretion. CAPABILITY STATEMENT: In order to make the best determination, the FAA requires interested vendors to fill out Appendix A, Capability Form NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE The Principal North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) size standard code for this requirement is 335911, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. If you believe that another NAICS code is more appropriate to the work specified in this market survey, include supporting justification with your alternate NAICS code. Suggestion of an alternate NAICS code does not require that the work be set aside or solicited under that alternative code. NATURE OF COMPETITION This Market Survey is conducted, in part, to determine whether adequate competition exists to set aside the competition among qualified small businesses, as certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA), that meet the applicable size standards for this procurement as specified above. With that said, this Market Survey is intended to seek information from interested vendors of all sizes and types. The acquisition strategy and the nature of this procurement has yet to be determined. The FAA may decide to do an unrestricted competition or a full or partial set-aside.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $SAIC reported $7.4B revenue (12 months to Jul 31, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 125 past awards, $1.2M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
