About this vehicle
Naval Air Systems Command established NAVAIR Training Systems Contract III as a Master IDIQ on November 29, 2011, with a shared ceiling of $2 billion and a final order date of November 29, 2018—now closed for seven years. This vehicle procures naval aviation training systems including new trainers, modifications and upgrades to existing systems, Instructional Systems Development, and complementary training support, and has been succeeded by Training Systems Contract IV, awarded the same day ordering closed.
The vehicle obligated $979.9 million against a combined task-order potential value of $1.15 billion, representing 85% drawdown. Award momentum slowed in the vehicle's final years: 14 task orders in 2014, declining to 6 in 2018, with 93 total awards across the life of the contract. CAE USA Inc. dominates competitive positioning, holding 12 orders worth $348.5 million in potential value and representing roughly 30% of total obligated dollars; the top five primes (CAE USA Inc., Aero Simulation Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, and J.F. Taylor Inc.) cover 47% of all task orders. All 93 orders were placed by the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division—a single customer concentration that eliminates inter-agency variability.
About 65% of awards carried no set-aside (60 orders), with 19% designated Total Small Business (18 orders) and 16% Partial Small Business (15 orders). Task-order values ranged broadly: minimum guarantees at award were $1,250 to $2,500 per contractor; representative production orders ran $2 million to $30 million, with several mega-orders exceeding $60 million. The MH-60R Technology Refresh and Procurement of Simulators order (N6134012D5104-0007) reached $169.5 million potential value, the LCS-1 Integrated Team Trainer (N6134012D5111-0003) $29.6 million, and the 5 Marine Common Aircrew Trainer (N6134012D5116-0002) $80.2 million potential value. Pricing was predominantly firm fixed price with selective Cost Plus Fixed Fee awards for development and integration work. Performance included foreign military sales work for Australia, Denmark, Spain, and Finland, as well as domestic naval aviation training operations at dispersed fleet training centers.
