Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
28 August 2025
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy today announced the next step in the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) process to identify a Prime Integrator to manage the building of a brand new air traffic control system. All interested parties may provide proposals through a Request for Solutions (RFS) by Sept. 21, 2025.
To meet the ambitious goal of implementing a new system within 3-4 years, the DOT and FAA have expedited the procurement process and crafted an innovative, first of its kind federal procurement contract that will incentivize results and holds the integrator accountable for any missed deadlines.
Secretary Duffy has made air traffic controller hiring and building a new state-of-the-art air traffic system top priorities.
