FAA MMAC, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS Effective April 1, 1996, the FAA implemented the FAA's Acquisition Management System (AMS) which replaced the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as the governing policy for effecting acquisitions for the FAA. This action was a direct result of the FY96 Department of Transportation Appropriations Act. Based on the policies and guiding principles of the AMS, the MMAC has elected to utilize the Internet as the primary mode for making public announcements, as required over $50,000. Vendors interested in MMAC acquisitions are hereby notified that Contracting Officers may utilize the Internet, trade journals, the CBD, or other media as appropriate, to reach the target audience. The types of acquisitions conducted by the MMAC include products, services, and construction in support of the National Airspace System (NAS), support of flight inspection aircraft, aircraft registration and regulation, air traffic, technical training, medical research, safety training and support, management training, real estate, and other support as required by organizations located at or supported by the MMAC. The Internet web page will become active on July 22, 1996. The address is http://www.mmac.jccbi.gov/amq. The AMS is available on the Internet through the Office of Acquisition, FAA, Washington DC home page which can be accessed under Other Links to the FAA MMAC home page. It is also available by mail at the Office of Acquisition, ASU-100, Acquisition Reform, 800 Independence Ave S.W., Washington, DC 20591.
