Description

The 325th Contracting Squadron, Tyndall AFB FL, is in the process of determining the acquisition strategy for our Contracted Flight Training Service. This is a request for information and not a formal solicitation. Any formal solicitation will be announced separately. The Air Force is interested in determining if sufficient and qualified small businesses are available and interested in providing the contemplated service. The Air Force reserves the right to set-aside this entire acquisition for small business, however we invite both large and small businesses to address questions below. The sole purpose of this synopsis is to develop and identify sources for a potential non-personal service contract that provides flight training services using turboprop or high performance piston engine type aircraft at Tyndall AFB, FL. Training to be provided includes ground-controlled intercept target training, live-fire training, weapons system evaluations, and MAJCOM directed development test and evaluations at Tyndall AFB, FL. The contractor shall be required to provide approximately 3000 flight training hours annually. The aircraft must be equipped to carry government furnished telemetry relay equipment. Crews with specialized training and qualifications must fly the aircraft. Pilots must have a current Commercial Pilot License with Instrument Privileges, at least a minimum of one-year experience in fighter and USAF flight line operations and ground control intercept (GCI) procedures. Maintenance Supervisor will have the following certification: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Frame and Propulsion (A&P) License and all other maintenance personnel must be certified in accordance with the applicable FAA directives for their respective duties. The total period of performance will be 5 to 8 years, structured by a basic contract period and up to seven (7) option years. We anticipate the contract type will be firm-fixed price, small business set-aside, under NAICS 611512. To support the set-aside decision, it is particularly important that potential small business concerns provide industry comments as follows: (1) If you are a Small Business that performs on contracts under NAICS 611512 and plans on participating in the competition of this acquisition, please provide information relative to past performance and/or experience similar to Contracted Flight Training contracts.
