Contracted Training Flight Services Bridge

The 325th Contracting Squadron plans to award a sole-source, firm-fixed price bridge contract for an 11-month period with four one-month options to Air 1st, Inc. This contract will provide continued contracted training flight services supporting Air Battle Management Command and Control Training, live fire training, weapon system evaluation, and major command-directed development test and evaluation for the 337th Air Control Squadron. The award is made under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), recognizing Air 1st, Inc. as the only responsible source qualified to meet the specific requirements. No competitive quotes are solicited, and no solicitation will be posted, as this bridge contract ensures uninterrupted service during the source selection process for a new contract. The contract pertains to NAICS code 611512 with a size standard of $27.5 million and will be performed at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. The bridge contract is designed to maintain continuity in contract performance and is strictly a government discretion decision not to seek competition. Key points of contact include 2d Lt Britney Petrina (Contract Manager) and Ms. Deborah Williams (Team Lead/Contracting Officer). This contract ensures critical training and evaluation support to the Department of Defense mission during the transition period to the next full contract award.
