About this award
The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command awarded a $269,969 firm fixed price purchase order to ITPS (Canada) LTD. for HU-16 aircraft services in support of the Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The contract, awarded January 5, 2026, with completion targeted for January 4, 2027, fulfills requirements identified through a pre-solicitation sources sought notice issued in October 2025. The Air Force Test Center sought qualified contractors capable of providing a Rockwell Sabreliner 60 or HU-16 aircraft with certified flight instructors to deliver specialized training flights for Test Pilot School students and staff, including upset-recovery training, aerobatics, and examination flights totaling approximately 25–30 flight hours annually. No small business set-aside was applied to this procurement.
The contract requires contractor personnel to meet stringent aviation qualifications, including instructor pilots holding FAA Commercial Pilot Certificates with a minimum of 1,500 total flight hours and 250 hours in the HU-16 aircraft, along with FAA Certified Flight Instructor credentials and at least 500 total instructor hours. The aircraft must pass subject matter expert inspection and be equipped with dual controls, advanced communication and navigation systems, and specific safety and performance instrumentation. Training operations will be conducted primarily at Edwards Air Force Base with potential alternate locations at Mojave Air & Space Port or Henderson Executive Airport, with the government providing aircraft fuel and certain logistical support during contract performance.
