How to bid on Large Document Review for FAA Office of the Chief Counsel
What the FAA is buying and why it matters
The Federal Aviation Administration's Office of the Chief Counsel (AGC) is looking for information from companies that can provide paralegal support and large-volume legal document review services. This work includes supporting complex litigation, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) matters, electronic discovery, legal research, and time-sensitive responses to congressional inquiries and litigation.
The FAA anticipates a five-year performance period for these services. This is an opportunity for firms with specific legal support expertise to potentially secure a long-term contract with a federal agency.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI), also known as a Market Survey. Responses are due by August 18, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. At the deadline, the FAA will stop accepting submissions.
This RFI is for informational purposes only. The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals, and will not pay for any costs incurred in preparing a response. The information gathered will help the FAA determine its acquisition strategy, which could be an unrestricted competition or a small-business set-aside.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with strong experience in litigation support services, specifically large-volume legal document review and paralegal support. The FAA is looking for personnel with appropriate education, training, and certifications, and demonstrated experience in complex litigation, FOIA requests, electronic discovery platforms, and advanced legal research.
The primary NAICS code identified is 541611LIT - Litigation Support Services. Companies should indicate their small business status, if applicable, such as 8(a), SDB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, or EDWOSB. Firms involved in a mentor/protégé program should also note this.
How to respond to this RFI
Responses to this Market Survey must be no longer than five pages. Your submission should include details on your corporate experience and technical capabilities, specifically how you have provided similar services to other government organizations within the last three years. Include contract value, contract number, agency, your role (prime or subcontractor), size and length of effort, pricing type, evaluation factors, number of assessments, facilities used, incentives, assessment methods, qualifications of personnel, and any unique terms and conditions.
You must also indicate whether your company can satisfy this requirement using an existing contract vehicle, such as eFAST or GSA. Any proprietary information submitted must be explicitly and conspicuously marked as proprietary.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
When responding to an RFI, focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's capabilities and experience directly relevant to the services requested. Even though this is not a proposal, a well-structured and concise response can leave a strong impression.
Highlight specific examples of past performance that align with complex litigation, FOIA matters, and electronic discovery. Quantify your experience where possible, for example, by mentioning the volume of documents reviewed or the number of cases supported. Ensure your response directly addresses all submittal requirements within the five-page limit.
