FAA Technical Support Services And Federal Aviation Modernization

For more than fifty years, we have been at the forefront of federal aviation modernization. Beginning in 1969, our long-standing partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has continually evolved, culminating in the ongoing Technical Support Services Contract (TSSC) series.

TSSC provides a flexible and proven framework that accelerates FAA program execution, reduces procurement timelines, and enables rapid deployment of aviation infrastructure solutions. This agility is essential to meeting tight modernization timelines, reducing risk, and scaling improvements across the National Airspace System with confidence.

Our aviation team applies lessons learned across both federal aviation systems and commercial airports to deliver consistent, high-performing outcomes.

Sustainable Aviation Infrastructure And AFFF Transition

As regulations evolve, both military and civilian airports are transitioning away from legacy firefighting foams containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). We support this shift through end-to-end Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) transition services, helping clients meet regulatory requirements while maintaining operational readiness and minimizing disruption.

We bring proven experience delivering AFFF transitions across 71 U.S. Air Force installations and international locations, with methodologies designed to safely replace legacy foam.

Our approach includes:

  • Assessing current foam usage and environmental impact
  • Identifying compliant, effective alternative foams
  • Developing transition plans, including training and infrastructure updates
  • Executing phased implementation to ensure safety and continuity of operations
