Quick Summary
The Department of Transportation, Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center), on behalf of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), intends to award a sole source purchase order for Air Quality Assessment Phase 6 to Janicke Consulting. This presolicitation is for services related to aircraft-specific model development and airport air quality assessment, utilizing the proprietary LASPORT modeling platform. Responses regarding this sole source intent are due May 28, 2026.
Scope of Work
This effort supports the FAA's aircraft-specific model development and airport air quality assessment, focusing on modeling aircraft emissions impacts near airports. The Volpe Center is comparing various air quality models, including Germany's LASat for airPORTs (LASPORT). Janicke Consulting is the sole entity with access to the LASPORT modeling platform, which is essential for airport-specific emissions and air quality dispersion modeling. The work includes performing modeled air quality assessments for Boston Logan Airport (BOS), Cleveland (CLE), and Washington Dulles (IAD), and researching to enhance LASPORT's capabilities.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Presolicitation (Intended Sole Source Purchase Order)

Set-Aside
This is an intended Sole Source award to Janicke Consulting. The justification states that Janicke Consulting has sole access to the proprietary LASPORT modeling platform, which is required for this effort. Alternative contractors would require significant resources and time to develop similar capabilities, and not contracting Janicke Consulting would result in a missed opportunity to integrate LASPORT as an AEDT research module for testing and validating airport air quality assessments in the US.
