Evans wins $212M FAA engineering, program support recompete

Evans Consulting has won a potential 10-year, $212.4 million contract for broad technical and professional services to the Federal Aviation Administration.

That award is the first of five the FAA plans to make for the recompete of its Air Traffic Engineering and Program Support contract across three categories of businesses.

Work will support the FAA’s program management team within the air traffic organization, which is responsible for managing the National Airspace System that includes airports and civilian airspace.

The portion Evans won on Monday is for the general small business track. Up to three more awards are planned for small disadvantaged businesses, while the fifth will be for the unrestricted portion.

ATEPS was originally awarded in 2018 to Evans, Science Applications International Corp. and Aurora Innovations.

They are responsible for providing program management, system engineering and development, and implementation support for FAA programs and systems aimed at enhancing the safety, efficiency and capacity of civilian airspace.

Evans’ portion of the contract is worth up to $134 million and the FAA has obligated roughly 92% of that ceiling, according to GovTribe data.

SAIC inherited its incumbency through the acquisition of Engility in 2019, one year after the latter won the contract. That ceiling value is now approximately $656 million, of which the FAA has obligated 96%.

Aurora Innovations holds the current contract’s SDB piece that has a $17 million ceiling value with approximately 95% of it obligated.

The FAA received two proposals for the ATEPS II award, according to Federal Procurement Data System information.

ATEPS II’s last date to order is March 15.
