Solicitation # A068521
This Request for Quote (RFQ) is for the acquisition of multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to provide Qualitative Evaluation (QE) flight training for the USAF Test Pilot School (TPS) at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The requirement is a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 611512. The government seeks to establish separate BPAs for eight specific aircraft categories: T-2 Buckeye, A-4 Skyhawk, Daher Kodiak, Cirrus Vision Jet, Noorduyn Norseman, Systems Platform Aircraft, Lighter-Than-Air (airship or balloon), and Jet Glider services. Each BPA is estimated not to exceed $349,999.99, with ordering periods ranging from three to five years, plus a potential six-month extension. The contractor is responsible for providing all management, personnel, equipment, and facilities to conduct training flights, typically lasting one to three hours per sortie. Key requirements include providing dual-control aircraft that pass an Air Force Test Center approved Subject Matter Expert inspection and employing FAA-certified instructors who meet strict flight hour and experience thresholds. Evaluation will be conducted using a Best Value Continuum, where technical acceptability—specifically the ability to provide services within the required timeframe—is weighted more heavily than price. Quotes must include a one-year price list covering dry and wet hourly rates for aircraft and instructor pilots, and must be submitted via email by October 9, 2026.
