Indefinite Delivery Contract 6973GH20D00039

The Federal Aviation Administration awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to Rubicon Aviation Training & Consulting Inc. to provide aircraft systems training services. Task orders issued against the contract vehicle from 2020 to 2023 called for training courses on systems for various commercial aircraft models, including those manufactured by Airbus, Boeing, Embraer and others. Classes were held at Rubicon's facility in Carnegie, Pennsylvania and provided pilot certification, qualification and maintenance training to support the FAA's aviation safety programs. No set-aside provisions were applied to individual orders, which had firm fixed prices ranging from approximately $7,670 to $52,640. Collectively the orders reflected the FAA's need to maintain technical expertise on modern aircraft through specialized instruction for its personnel, with a potential value of $516,130 over the life of the contract.

The original solicitation sought an IDV award to provide aircraft maintenance training to FAA staff. Subsequent task orders specified training requirements for particular aircraft models during given periods, with work to be completed by stated due dates. This enabled the FAA to fulfill ongoing needs for pilot proficiency and qualification on systems of aircraft commonly used in commercial passenger transportation. The single-award structure consolidated FAA training demands under one contractor, streamlining procurement activities while supporting the agency's mission to regulate civil aviation safety.
