NAVAIR Training Systems Contract II (NAVAIR TSC II)

The Naval Air Warfare Center established NAVAIR Training Systems Contract II, a Master IDIQ for naval aviation training systems curriculum, on August 15, 2003, with a shared ceiling of $3 billion. Ordering closed on August 28, 2013—over a decade ago—and the vehicle has been succeeded by NAVAIR Training Systems Contract III, awarded in November 2011. This vehicle is no longer active and cannot support new work.

During its ordering period, the vehicle generated 68 task orders with a combined potential value of $489.9 million, though obligated amounts reached $733.4 million, indicating heavy exercise of options and modifications. Task-order activity peaked in 2007 with 11 awards, then contracted sharply; the last order was placed in September 2010. The vehicle funded a mix of courseware development, platform-specific training systems (V-22, F/A-18, AV-8B, KC-130J, and rotary-wing aircraft), and curriculum revision and maintenance across multiple Navy commands.

D.P. Associates Inc. dominated by order count with 21 awards totaling $60.6 million in combined potential value. Carley Corporation and Delex Systems, Incorporated held 15 and 8 orders respectively; McDonnell Douglas Corporation and Lockheed Martin Corporation each secured 6 orders. However, CAE USA Inc. controlled the largest share of potential value at $202.9 million across only 3 orders, reflecting mega-award concentration on high-value courseware development. The top five primes captured 96 percent of combined potential value.

Naval Air Warfare Center placed 45 of 68 orders, representing $479.5 million in combined potential value. Other Navy commands and the Office of Personnel Management placed the remainder. All 68 task orders carried no set-aside designation, making this an unrestricted vehicle at the task-order level.

Orders ranged from boutique technical work under $1 million to large, multi-year efforts; the largest single award was Delivery Order N6133903D5017-0022 (Courseware Development) at $165.2 million ceiling. Most orders employed firm fixed price or cost-plus-fixed-fee structures. Place of performance spanned naval air stations (Cherry Point, Jacksonville, Patuxent River, Norfolk) and contractor facilities nationwide, reflecting the distributed nature of Navy aviation training infrastructure.
