Quick Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a market survey to identify industry capabilities for a Tactical Intelligence Platform for International Travel. This platform will support the Office of Investigations & Professional Responsibility (AXI-1) International Travel Security Program (ITSP) by providing timely security information to FAA employees traveling internationally. Responses are due by May 15, 2026.

Purpose & Scope

The FAA seeks to understand vendor strategies, capabilities, and methodologies for delivering a comprehensive tactical intelligence platform. This platform is crucial for protecting FAA employees from terrorism, crime, and foreign intelligence threats while abroad, and for ensuring the FAA's Duty of Care by monitoring safety and security concerns.

Key Requirements / Deliverables

Respondents must demonstrate their organization's strategy, capability, and methodology by addressing:

  • Cover Sheet: A completed cover sheet.
  • Capability Questions: Detailed answers regarding experience with location-based intelligence, platform features (tracking, real-time alerts, risk analysis), metric reporting, 24/7 emergency hotline operations, and platform hierarchy/help ticket turnaround times.
  • Documented Experience: At least one example of past performance within the last three years, comparable in scope (e.g., 10,000-12,000 annual trips, specific license counts, 3,000-4,000 international travelers).

Submission & Evaluation

  • Responses must not exceed ten (10) pages, using Times New Roman 11pt font.
  • All requested information (items 1, 2, and 3) are considered baseline requirements.
  • Responses must be received by 5:00 PM EST on May 15, 2026.
  • Submit responses via email to Stephania Ivory at stephania.l.ivory@faa.gov.
  • This is a market survey, not a solicitation. Responses will inform the FAA's procurement strategy.
