(FAAAMS) Authority

OMB 2120-0595

This is an information collection of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Acquisition Management System (FAAAMS). The Acquisition Management System (AMS) establishes policies and internal procedures for FAA acquisition. Section 348 of Public Law 104-50 directed FAA to establish an acquisition system; Section 348 states, in part:

“[T]he Federal Aviation Administration shall develop and implement, not later than January 1, 1996, an acquisition management system for the Federal Aviation Administration that addresses the unique needs of the agency and, at a minimum, provides for more timely and cost-effective acquisitions of equipment and materials.”

The information collection is necessary to solicit, award, and administer contracts for supplies, equipment, services, facilities, and real property to fulfill FAA’s mission.
