Federal Aviation Adminstration

Our continuing mission is to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world. The FAA’s regulatory and air traffic control functions are carried out in approximately 1,000 staffed facilities throughout the United States. We also maintain approximately 60,000 operational facilities in the National Airspace System (NAS). To provide air traffic control and regulatory functions, we rely on equipment, systems, supplies, services, and construction provided by commercial, educational, and non-profit businesses, organizations, and individuals.

The FAA supports expanding opportunities and promoting economic growth for all businesses, while especially encouraging small businesses, socially and economically disadvantages businesses, women-owned businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.
