Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) T-45 Strike Technology Refresh Program (T-45 STRP): Kingsville Operational Flight Trainer (OFT) Control Loading System and Cockpit Refresh Effort

This firm-fixed price sole source contract, awarded by the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), provides for the technology refresh of the Control Loading Systems and Cockpits within six T-45 Operational Flight Trainer devices located at Naval Air Station Kingsville, Texas. The effort is part of the broader Chief of Naval Air Training T-45 Strike Technology Refresh Program, which aims to replace obsolete cockpits, seats, and control loading systems to maintain operational readiness. The contract was awarded to Industrial, Smoke and Mirrors as the Original Equipment Manufacturer to avoid substantial duplication of costs. In addition to the Kingsville requirements, the overarching program includes similar refreshes for T-45 OFTs at Naval Air Station Pensacola and the provision of support equipment for Naval Air Station Meridian. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 333310 and is managed through the Department of Defense office in Orlando, Florida.
