ISO 14001 & ISO 45001 Registrar Services (FAA) — BidPulsar Solicitation Spotlight

Executive takeaway

This is a short-fuse buy for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 registrar services under NAICS 541611 (PSC R499) with no set-aside. The public notice text doesn’t include scope details, so your ability to respond hinges on quickly pulling requirements from the solicitation package and confirming you can deliver accredited registrar services on the buyer’s timeline.

What the buyer is trying to do

The buyer (FAA, via its acquisition services office) is seeking a registrar to support certifications aligned to ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management). In practical terms, they are looking for an organization that can conduct audits and issue/maintain certifications consistent with those ISO standards—subject to whatever specific locations, audit cadence, and reporting requirements are stated in the solicitation attachments.

What work is implied (bullets)

• Provide registrar services for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 (exact scope verify in attachments).
• Plan and execute audits required for certification and/or surveillance activities (verify in attachments).
• Deliver required audit documentation and certification-related outputs (verify in attachments).
• Coordinate schedules, access, and logistics with the government team (verify in attachments).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

• Bid if you are an established ISO registrar (or can legally and credibly propose registrar services) for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 and can mobilize quickly given the close response deadline.
• Bid if you have a ready-to-go proposal shell for ISO registrar engagements and can tailor it fast once you download the solicitation documents.
• Pass if you cannot provide ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 registrar services directly and would need substantial time to form an approach.
• Pass if you cannot meet the response schedule (posted 2026-01-24; responses due 2026-01-27 at 20:00 UTC).

Pricing & strategy notes (how to research pricing; do not invent pricing numbers)

Because the public notice does not include line items or pricing structure, treat pricing as attachment-driven. Focus your strategy on verifying what the buyer is actually buying (initial certification audit vs. surveillance vs. recertification, number of sites, and duration) and then building a defensible basis of estimate.

• Start by extracting the expected audit cycle, number of audit days, number of locations, and any travel rules from the solicitation (verify in attachments).
• Research comparable federal ISO registrar procurements by searching the solicitation number and ISO 14001/45001 registrar terms in public award repositories (then align your level of effort to the stated scope in this solicitation).
• Decide whether to price as firm-fixed per audit event, per audit day, or per site—only if the solicitation allows it (verify in attachments).
• Use a clear assumptions table inside the proposal so evaluators can trace your price to scope items in the request (verify in attachments).

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• If the solicitation requires both standards under one award, consider teaming to cover any gaps in auditor availability—while keeping one prime responsible for registrar obligations (verify in attachments).
• Pair a registrar with logistics/travel support if the buyer has multiple sites or complex access requirements (verify in attachments).
• If specialized environments are involved (e.g., high-security or operational sites), consider teaming for site access coordination—subject to solicitation terms (verify in attachments).

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• Thin public description: the notice provides no scope narrative; missing the attachments means you will miss key requirements.
• Very short turnaround: only a few days between posting and deadline; proposal operations must be ready immediately.
• Accreditation/eligibility risk: if specific registrar qualifications are required, a non-compliant registrar will be screened out (verify in attachments).
• Pricing misalignment: ISO registrar work can vary widely by audit cadence and number of sites; ensure your pricing structure matches the requested format (verify in attachments).
