Notice ID:\u00a0<\/strong>AC-24-FAST<\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking to modernize the FAA Acquisition System Toolset (FAST) website (https:\/\/fast.faa.gov<\/a>), along with its underlying content management, and change request processes. The FAST website serves as the official repository for the Acquisition Management System (AMS) and other essential acquisition tools and resources (i.e. FAST content). The AMS provides the framework for policy and guidance for all aspects of lifecycle acquisition management for the FAA, aiming to enhance quality, reduce timelines, manage risk, and minimize the costs in delivering safe and secure services to the aviation community and flying public.<\/p>\n

While the AMS has successfully enabled the FAA to achieve significant improvements in time efficiency, schedule adherence, and cost management, challenges persist with the current revision process. The aging platform, lengthy software upgrade cycles, and cumbersome manual change processes hinder the system\u2019s ability to adapt swiftly. Given the dynamic nature of internal policy changes and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements (including Executive Orders, and OMB\/GAO directives), it is imperative to enhance both the content management system and the change request process.<\/p>\n
