Arch Angel Aircraft and Instructor Support

The Arch Angel Aircraft and Instructor Support is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle awarded by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to support specialized aviation training, maintenance, and logistical services. The contract enables the procurement of aircraft support services, with a focus on military freefall parachuting operations and related training programs. Task orders under this vehicle provide comprehensive aviation support, including aircraft rental, instructor services, and logistical assistance for special operations aviation programs.

The contract vehicle has primarily been utilized by two prime contractors: Paraclete XP Skyventure LLC and Airborne Support Group LLC, both veteran-owned small businesses. Task orders typically range from $90,000 to $320,000, with performance periods spanning several months to a year. Many task orders are set aside for total small business participation, though some have been awarded without specific set-aside designations. The primary place of performance is Raeford, North Carolina, where Paraclete XP Skyventure is located. The delivery orders consistently focus on aircraft support services, with a particular emphasis on military freefall training and instructor support for Special Operations Command aviation programs. The contract vehicle demonstrates USSOCOM's strategic approach to acquiring specialized aviation training and support services through flexible, multiple-award contract mechanisms.
