- Redacted J&A Notice of Award Solicitation: FA9304-17-R-0001 Award: FA9304-17-D-0001 Location: Air Force Materiel Command/HQ Air Force Test Center (AFTC) - Edwards Title: Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator and Test Aircraft (VISTA) Support Description: The United States Air Force Test Pilot School (USAF TPS), Edwards, AFB awarded a sole source contract, 5-year IDIQ to Calspan Corporation 4455 Genesee St. Buffalo, NY 14225-1028. The resultant contract, called VISTA Support, provides maintenance and curriculum support for the Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator and Test Aircraft (VISTA), which is used to support the United States Air Force Test Pilot School (USAF TPS), located at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Travel incurred to support these requirements will be in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations. The VISTA, a Test and Evaluation aircraft owned by the Air Force, is a Block 30/40 F-16D, Serial Number 86-0048. The aircraft has a dorsal fairing, heavyweight landing gear, an F110-GE-100 engine, and Block 40 avionics. Modifications to the aircraft include the addition of a production Digital Flight Control System (DFLCS), Airborne Instrumentation System data acquisition system (DAS), VISTA Simulation System (VSS) interface, and variable feel center-stick controllers. Extensive market research efforts have been conducted for this effort. A Sources Sought Synopsis was advertised categorically under FA9302-17-R-0003 and a special notice was advertised categorically under FA9304-17-R-0001. The notice for the proposed acquisition advised industry of the pending acquisition. From this market research, it was assessed that only one contractor, Calspan Corporation, was fully qualified for the overall requirement as well as the standalone requirements of VISTA. Government experience with the current VISTA Support contract, where a single contract vehicle has been utilized for the majority of TPS's capability upgrade support, has proven to be most efficient in its execution. Based upon the results of the market research conducted, and the aforementioned Government analysis, the Government acquired the services on a sole source basis. The resultant contract was awarded under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy the Agency's Requirements.
