The Federal Aviation Administration is conducting market research to identify qualified sources that can provide artificial intelligence tools and data analytic services to improve aviation standards and practices.
The agency seeks experienced service providers to support its vision of developing advanced safety and non-safety analytics capabilities, according to a Wednesday notice posted on SAM.gov.
Upcoming Contract Requirements and Objective
The government expects the potential sources to demonstrate expertise in using analytics, AI and machine learning to modernize aviation safety and non-safety insights. The vendors should also be knowledgeable in aviation data and must provide analytics solutions to enhance operational safety and reduce errors.
Through the upcoming requirement, the FAA intends to proactively identify and mitigate safety and non-safety risks and deploy AI and ML for deep analysis of safety and non-safety data to generate actionable insights. In addition, the agency aims to integrate various data sources to create a comprehensive view of safety and non-safety factors in the National Airspace System.
Technical Expertise
Ultimately, the effort aims to accelerate the FAA’s safety and non-safety capabilities and use an industry partner’s advanced technical expertise to ensure continuous improvement in U.S. aviation standards and practices.
The collected feedback will inform the agency’s final acquisition approach for the requirement. Comments and questions will be accepted until Nov. 22.
