360ER Aircraft Simulator

The FAA’s Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center is forecasting a procurement for the production, installation, and sustainment of a 360ER aircraft simulator. This effort falls under NAICS code 333310, which covers the manufacturing of aviation and other aerospace product and parts, indicating the project involves specialized engineering, systems integration, and long-term operational support. The simulator will require full lifecycle management, including initial development, on-site installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance to ensure it remains mission-ready for training purposes. The place of performance and exact location are unspecified, but work is expected to align with FAA training and operational requirements. Point of contact for the opportunity is Tracey Johnson, with Gerald A. Lewis designated as the Small Business Specialist, suggesting the FAA is open to participation from small businesses and may structure the procurement to encourage broad industry involvement. The forecast was posted on September 25, 2025, and while no solicitation number or set-aside details are provided, the upcoming procurement is anticipated to involve significant technical capability, sustained support agreements, and likely a competitive bidding process given the complexity and critical nature of aviation training systems. Interested parties should monitor for future formal solicitations through the provided acquisition gateway link.
