AI Contract Overview

Show more

On March 5, 2012, the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather non-proprietary input from industry on alternative solutions to the current Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) advanced rotary wing training system. This market research effort aims to identify innovative, cost-effective improvements to the TH-57 Training Pipeline, seeking long-term enhancements to training methods while reducing overall costs. Industry participation is encouraged to share ideas and perspectives, with an anticipated industry day scheduled for mid-2013 to further discuss these alternatives. This RFI does not conflict with the ongoing Request for Proposal (RFP) related to the Contractor Logistics Support for the existing TH-57 helicopter fleet and any related procurement actions will be announced separately. The solicitation, identified as TH57RFI and posted on October 19, 2012, is managed by NAVAIR under the Department of Defense, with coordination based in Patuxent River, Maryland. Interested parties can direct inquiries to the designated contract specialists, Amanda Jones and Martha Scott, and follow updates on FedBizOpps.

On 5 March 2012, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) released a market research Request For Information (RFI) soliciting non-proprietary information from industry on potential alternative solutions to the existing Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) advanced rotary wing training pipeline. This was a market research effort to assist NAVAIR in exploring alternatives to the existing training construct to provide better long term training at a lower cost. NAVAIR thanks those industry partners who responded to the RFI with their views on long term training alternatives. It is anticipated that an industry day on this topic will be held in mid 2013. Please monitor FedBizOpps for further details as they become available. [NOTE: As stated in the 5 March 2012 RFI, this market research effort does not conflict with the Request for Proposal (RFP) (N00019-10-R-0097) for the follow-on Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) contract in support of the existing fleet of TH-57 helicopters. Any procurement associated with this RFI topic will be synopsized separately on FedBizOpps.]
