Fielded Training Systems Support IV (FTSS IV)

The Fielded Training Systems Support IV (FTSS IV) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle administered by the Naval Air Warfare Center, designed to provide comprehensive training systems support services for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The contract enables the procurement of advanced training solutions, including contractor operations and maintenance services, contractor instruction services, training device modifications, system relocations, training systems management, and in-service engineering support. With a shared ceiling of $1.75 billion, the vehicle supports a wide range of aviation and maritime training requirements, covering multiple aircraft platforms, simulation technologies, and operational readiness programs.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on specialized training support across naval aviation and maritime domains. Prime contractors such as Fidelity Technologies Corporation, Valiant Global Defense Services, CAE USA, LB & B Associates, and Engineering Support Personnel, Inc. have been awarded delivery orders ranging from $2 million to $115 million, typically with performance periods between two to five years. The task orders predominantly support contractor operations and maintenance services (COMS), contractor instruction services (CIS), and training systems management for platforms including E-2 Hawkeye, F/A-18, EA-18G, Navy helicopters, and Surface/Littoral Combat Ships. These delivery orders are consistently firm-fixed-price contracts with no specific small business set-aside designations, and performance locations span naval facilities in the United States, with some international support in locations like Japan and Saudi Arabia. The Naval Air Systems Command remains the primary funding agency, underscoring the vehicle's strategic importance to naval training infrastructure.
