The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is preparing a massive recompete — the PMO Technical Assistance Contract (PTAC) — valued at up to $1.3 billion.
The contract will provide technical and professional services across the Program Management Organization (PMO) within the FAA’s Air Traffic Organization (ATO). With multiple incumbents (SAIC, L.S. Technologies, Cavan Solutions, Regulus, and others) and a shared ceiling model, this opportunity will demand strong teams, clear win themes, and early positioning.
If your pipeline has stalled or you’ve lost work to cancellations and delays, this is a chance to re-engage in a meaningful pursuit. The RFP is expected in December 2025, so capture starts now.

Why This Matters Now
The FAA’s PMO oversees modernization and sustainment of the U.S. air traffic system, one of the most complex infrastructure networks in government.
The PTAC recompete isn’t just another professional services contract; it’s an entry point into high-value, long-term FAA work in systems engineering, acquisition lifecycle support, and program management.
But in today’s contracting environment, where opportunity volume is down over 70% and cancellations are rising, this is one of the few large-scale opportunities that offers real potential.
To compete, you’ll need a smart capture strategy, strong partners, and clear win themes tied to FAA’s mission and outcomes. Waiting until the RFP drops will put you too far behind.
