PROGRAM MANAGEMENT OFFICE (PMO) TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CONTRACT (PTAC)

ATO is a Line of Business (LOB) within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The ATO mission is to provide a safe, efficient, responsive air transportation system that serves the nation and supports the global aviation community. ATO performs its mission through eight service units.  The FAA PMO is one of eight Service Units that comprise the FAA’s ATO. The PMO was formed to bring the majority of the FAA’s major acquisition programs, business solutions, and infrastructure programs under one umbrella, allowing for better cost controls and economies of scale.

The PMO participates in National Airspace System (NAS) management, development, engineering, and deployment activities. There are five directorates within the PMO: PMO Integrated Services and Analysis (AJM-1), Air Traffic Systems (ATS) (AJM-2), Enterprise Services (AJM-3), Surveillance Services (AJM-4), and Telecommunications Integrated Services Office (TISO) (AJM-5).

AJM-1 provides customer service across the PMO with a wide range of expertise implementing practical solutions to enable the successful implementation and sustainment of NAS and Mission Support programs. AJM-1 provides one-stop shopping for resource management services; acquisition support; program health management; and planning, analysis, and integration support.

The Air Traffic Systems Directorate (AJM-2) is responsible for developing, deploying and operating systems that deliver services to all segments of the NAS, including systems that support decision-making for traffic flow managers, and systems that provide services directly to pilots for improved safety and efficiency.

The Enterprise Services Directorate (AJM-3) develops, acquires, deploys, maintains, sustains, and improves navigation, communications, weather, and aeronautical information products and services for the NAS. 

Surveillance Services Directorate (AJM-4) focuses on the surveillance systems that provide the complete picture for operations taking place in the NAS. These systems range from traditional ground based radars to more advanced Global Positioning System (GPS) based positioning systems.

Telecommunications Integrated Services Office (AJM-5) maintains and deploys all the infrastructure necessary to ensure seamless and modern telecommunications services for the NAS.  The office is responsible for acquisition, engineering, testing, business and program management, and integrated scheduling for all FAA telecommunications systems, products, and services at over 4800 sites. 

To achieve the Agency Strategic Priority goals and organizational mission objectives, professional and technical support services are required to support the existing and future NAS initiatives. The Statement of Work (SOW) sets forth a broad set of support services required to support operations in the PMO and other FAA lines of business (LOB). Support is required for, but not limited to, the following mission critical programs: Air Traffic Management; Decision Support Systems; Surveillance Services; Terminal Field Operations; EnRoute and Oceanic second Level Engineering; Communications, Information & Network Programs; Navigation Programs; Aviation Weather and Aeronautical Services; Data Communications, Cyber Security, Cloud support, Research and Development (R&D) Telecommunications, and other programs throughout the FAA. These programs require ongoing maintenance, upkeep and enhancements through transition, integration, and implementation of the NAS modernization and transition to the next generation Air Traffic System.
