Reston, VA. — September 27, 2021 — The Air Traffic Control Association (ATCA) has awarded Concept Solutions, LLC (CS) with the 2021 Small Business Outstanding Achievement Award. Our Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Command and Control Communications (C3) Emergency Operations Network (EON) Team was selected for demonstrating outstanding achievement and contribution, which has added to the quality, safety, or efficiency of air traffic control.

“Concept Solutions is extremely proud to be recognized by the Air Traffic Control Association,” said Phong Mai, Concept Solutions’ President and CEO. “We strive to provide our clients with the safest, most efficient, and highest quality solutions, and this award reflects the hard work from all of our staff to successfully meet our clients’ needs.”

As the spread of COVID-19 proliferated throughout the United States in late April 2020, FAA leadership had a critical need for a system with scoped COVID-19 case data to support the FAA’s operations and transparent decision-making. CS played a key role in recognizing the urgency and criticality of the Administrator’s directive. The technical expertise and contributions of our EON Team was key in successfully developing the COVID-19 Operations Dashboard in just 48 hours and, subsequently, maintaining availability to FAA leadership and employees throughout the pandemic.

The Dashboard continues to play a critical role in the effectiveness and transparency of FAA decision-making throughout the pandemic. The FAA COVID-19 Incident Management Team and the Office of Aerospace Medicine rely almost exclusively on the dashboard when making critical travel and Recovery Phasing recommendations to senior agency leaders.

ATCA award recipients will be honored at the ATCA Annual Conference & Exposition on Tuesday February 8th, 2022. Learn more about the ATCA Awards Program at: https://www.atca.org/atca-awards-program
