LIGHTNING PARTNERING SESSIONS

Purpose: The Government encourages the creation of strong vendor teams, with the ability to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and abilities in the development of an innovative and scalable service-based solution for the origination-management-distribution of Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) and Aeronautical Information (AI). NOTAMs and AI are highly regulated data sets and vendor(s) and/or vendor teams should demonstrate relevant compliance to these requirements across the entire NOTAM and AI need, to develop successful concepts.

To encourage such partnerships and teaming, the Government intends to provide the opportunity to participate in a virtual Lightning Partnering Session on 17 January 2024, 2pm – 4pm EST.

Approach: Companies will be given the opportunity to present their capabilities for the purpose of partnering with other companies for this Challenge-Based Acquisition (ChBA).

Companies that intend on presenting during the event must have their slides submitted to Angel Jones (Angel.Jones@faa.gov) by 15 January 2024. It is recommended that participating companies present the following:

• A brief overview of the company


• Knowledge, skills, and abilities as it relates to the documentation published on www.SAM.gov for this ChBA


• A brief summary of what the company is looking for in a teaming partner(s)


• Points of Contact (POCs)

Vendors will be limited to a MAXIMUM of 4 Slides and 5 minutes for their presentation. Should a vendor reach this time limit without completing their presentation, the Government moderator will terminate the presentation at the 5-minute mark and advance to the next company. The order of presentations will be randomly assigned on the day of the event.

Only vendors who are interested in forming partnerships to meet the NOTAM ChBA requirements should attend the session. If the vendor(s) intend on attending the event in a listen only capacity, the vendor should still provide POCs and what the company is looking for in a teaming partner(s) by 15 January 2024.

No questions or discussion with the Government will occur during this event.

After the event has concluded the slides that have been presented and the POCs for each vendor will be published on www.SAM.gov.

If a vendor would not like their slides or POC information posted please state this with your intention to attend.

All questions regarding this event must be submitted to Angel Jones (Angel.Jones@faa.gov) by 12 January 2024 by 10AM EST.
