Indefinite Delivery Contract 6973GH22D00076

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a civilian government agency, awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Aviation Specialties Unlimited, Inc., a woman-owned small business, for a 5-year rotary wing night vision goggle (NVG) training contract. The IDC has a $649,220 ceiling value and a performance period through January 2028. Under this contract, the FAA has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to Aviation Specialties Unlimited for NVG recurrent training and NVG training for rotary-wing pilots, to be performed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The training supports the FAA's efforts to enhance night vision capabilities for its aviation operations personnel. Aviation Specialties Unlimited has also been awarded other IDVs by the FAA and the Department of the Interior for a range of night vision solutions, training, and equipment services across civilian and defense agencies.

The original solicitation was a pre-solicitation notice for an FAA requirement for NVG helicopter pilot training. The FAA contemplated awarding a fixed-price Indefinite Delivery/Requirements contract with a 1-year base period and one 4-year option period. The award was to be made to the vendor with the lowest-priced technically acceptable proposal. No set-aside designations were mentioned in the solicitation, but the resulting contract was set aside for small businesses.
