Common NAICS codes on DOT solicitations
Small-business notes
The FAA operates under its own Acquisition Management System (AMS) rather than the standard FAR process, which changes how solicitations are structured and evaluated. Read FAA opportunities carefully — the familiar FAR conventions may not apply.
