RESTON, VA — September 5, 2012 – ConceptSolutions, LLC (www.Concept-Solutions.com), an information management and enterprise Web 2.0 technology consulting company serving government, military and commercial organizations, announced today it has been awarded a task order from the FAA’s Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) to provide program support, program management and enterprise integration support, and mission support services for the FAA’s Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), an Air Traffic Management (ATM) modernization program. The five-year contract (including options) has a total value of approximately $20 million and follows a similar multimillion dollar JPDO contract the company won in 2007.

“ConceptSolutions is proud to have been chosen again by the JPDO to support the continued efficient and effective, day-to-day operations while helping the aviation industry transition to NextGen,” said Phong Mai, ConceptSolutions President and CEO.

The JPDO is responsible for developing a framework for NextGen planning and development, identifying and prioritizing key multi-agency concerns and driving consensus in the development of investment choices and decisions. The office ensures efficient coordination between FAA, NASA, and the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Commerce. Under this task order, ConceptSolutions will support JPDO activities, including requirements development and documentation; process analysis, support, and implementation; office and infrastructure support; and communications. The task order was awarded under an FAA contract vehicle known as Electronic FAA Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST).

The goal of NextGen is to create a more flexible and scalable air transportation system by the year 2025 through the use of new technologies and capabilities. The system will be capable of handling new types of aircraft, new industry business models and the growing demands on capacity expected in the years ahead.
