The Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Command Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Vertical Wind Tunnel (VWT) Support Services, awarded in September 2016, provides comprehensive training and operational support for specialized aviation environments. The contract enables the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to procure vertical wind tunnel time, training, and related observational services across multiple locations. Task orders under this contract primarily focus on providing controlled wind tunnel environments to support specialized military aviation training, testing, research, and development activities for naval special warfare and special operations personnel.

The contract features numerous delivery orders ranging from $2,800 to $160,750, with most task orders having completion dates aligned with the federal fiscal year (September 30). Prime contractors frequently include T Brook Inc. (doing business as Ifly Oceanside), a veteran-owned small business, and Skygroup Investments LLC (doing business as Ifly San Diego). While most task orders were not set aside for specific small business categories, one order was designated as a Total Small Business contract. Performance locations appear to be concentrated in California, particularly around Camp Pendleton and San Diego. The delivery orders consistently utilize firm fixed price mechanisms and support specialized military training needs, with a focus on vertical wind tunnel hours, instructor support, and operational time for naval special warfare and special operations personnel.
