About this award
Calspan, LLC was awarded a $19.7 million firm fixed-price indefinite delivery contract by the Naval Air Warfare Center to provide flight demonstration services in support of the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. The contract, which commenced on October 1, 2020 and extends through March 31, 2026, encompasses classroom instruction, pre-flight briefings, and operational support for a contractor-owned Variable Stability System (VSS)-equipped Learjet aircraft used for student pilot training. As a sole-source award with no set-aside designation, this contract reflects Calspan's unique capability to operate the VSS system, which is proprietary to their aircraft and cannot be transferred to other platforms. The VSS technology enables test pilots to experience variable aircraft handling characteristics in a controlled flight environment, making it an essential training tool for the Navy's test pilot curriculum.
Calspan's selection as the sole source contractor underscores the specialized nature of the required services and the company's established expertise as the incumbent provider of VSS-equipped aircraft flight support. The Naval Air Warfare Center determined that Calspan's technical proficiency with the integrated VSS system and their proven track record made them the only responsible source capable of meeting the performance-based requirements. This contract represents a continuation of Calspan's long-standing relationship with the Navy and reflects the critical role advanced flight simulation and demonstration capabilities play in developing and training naval aviation's test pilot workforce.
