AI Contract Overview
The Federal Aviation Administration is conducting a market survey to identify qualified vendors capable of providing commercial off-the-shelf pilot training for the Beechcraft King Air 250, specifically for Flight Standards Service inspectors and Aircraft Certification Service pilots requiring non-type-rated initial and recurrent training with Pro Line Fusion avionics. The training must comply with FAA formal flight training standards and be delivered under an FAA-approved curriculum aligned with 14 CFR Parts 60, 61, 121, 135, 141, or 142, utilizing FAA-certified full flight simulators and flight training devices. The scope includes ground school and flight instruction, with additional requirements such as observer time for second pilots at no extra cost and provision of second-in-command seat support as needed. Training must be led by instructors authorized under the vendor’s approved training program, and all instruction must be tailored to remove non-essential company-specific content like customer relations or administrative form training, focusing exclusively on operational proficiency. Responses are due by 5:00 p.m. CT on July 13, 2026, and must be submitted via email to the designated Contract Specialist, with no phone inquiries permitted. Interested vendors must submit a capability statement detailing the type of training provided for each aircraft, past performance on similar contracts, SAM UEI number, and years in business, along with the geographic area where training will be delivered and a strategy for executing the work. The North American Industry Classification System code is 611512, with a size standard of $34 million, and the FAA may set aside the resulting contract for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or SBA 8(a) certified firms, depending on competition analysis. Companies claiming 8(a) certification must include a valid SBA certification letter. The FAA will not pay for submission costs or evaluate proposals at this stage; the survey is purely informational to assess market capability and determine future procurement strategy. If a contract is awarded, deliverables include a Certificate of Training signed by an FAA inspector and the vendor’s internal completion document, both submitted with invoices. Contractors must notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative within five working days of training completion, immediately report any failure to appear or inability to provide qualified personnel, and promptly inform both the COR and Contracting Officer of any student failures to trigger potential authorization for remedial training. Annual submission of current course materials is required for FAA validation, and training cannot begin until the Contracting Officer
