AI Contract Overview
The USDA Forest Service, in collaboration with interagency partners, is seeking to enhance its training capabilities for aviation managers and tactical resources through advanced simulation-based instruction. This contract involves providing equipment, support personnel, and potentially optional instructors to deliver standardized course simulations. These simulations will be jointly developed by the government and the contractor and will cover various wildfire-related aviation roles including air tactical supervisors, pilots, helitack crews, and smokejumpers. The training may also be expanded to encompass broader aviation operations, including all-risk scenarios and Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Training sessions will be mobile and conducted at varying locations, primarily centered in Boise, Idaho. The contract is a total small business set-aside under solicitation number 1202SA26R9700, with responses due by mid-February 2026. The goal is to provide scalable and realistic virtual reality simulations spanning entry-level to advanced scenarios, enabling comprehensive preparedness and operational effectiveness in wildfire aviation management across multiple disciplines and emergency response situations.
