The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) has a requirement to support the Navy's Command Aircraft Crew Training (CACT) Program which includes providing all labor, equipment, training facilities/materials, tools, supervision and other services necessary for academic, aircrew coordination, and simulator training for initial pilot training, refresher pilot/engineer training, and several C-20G maintenance courses (initial maintenance, trouble shooting, maintenance manager, electronics and avionics, and corrosions control/ prevention training) for the C-20G aircraft (Gulfstream IV as configured for U.S. Navy). This requirement will be pursued in accordance with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. The successful offeror will be responsible for maintaining ongoing certification of pilot courses though the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and validation of those courses by the Navy Aviation Model Manager (through acceptance of course syllabi). The maintenance courses meet applicable Air Transport Association 104 requirements. The simulator must be capable of FAA Level C certification or higher (under FAA Circular 120-40B) with C-20G configured cockpit. A low-cost picture mockup cockpit familiarization trainer (CFT) is required unless the simulator is used for cockpit and procedures training. A cockpit procedures trainer (CPT) is required unless the simulator is used for cockpit and procedures training. A part task trainer (PTT) is required unless the simulator is used for Honeywell SPZ-8000 Integrated Flight Control System/Flight Management System training. The flight simulator's cockpit/functions must duplicate the above aircraft and be capable of simulating all NATOPS normal/emergency procedures. In addition to the flight simulator, a cockpit familiarization trainer shall be available to students. All pilot/engineer course contractor instructors provided for training services shall, as a minimum, be FAA certified in the subject and aircraft being taught (i.e., SimulatorInstructors: Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) or Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument (CFI-I) type rating; Ground School Instructor: Basic and Instrument FAA Ground School, FAA Flight Engineer or ATP/CFI-I FAA rating; FAA exemptions accepted). New DOTFAR 142 training center certification in the Gulfstream IV will suffice for instructor and course certification. Maintenance course contractor instructors must have demonstrated practical maintenance experience and/or a FAA Airframe and Power Plants (A&P) license. Contractor will be required to submit for government approval an Approved Training Syllabus (ATS) for each course that meets applicable requirements of the Naval Air Training and Operations Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) for the above cited aircraft.
