The FAA seeks a firm fixed price, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for Airbus A-330 Initial and Recurrent Pilot Qualification Training (FAA certification 28081 and 28187). The contract covers a base period from 12/01/2026 to 11/30/2027, plus four 12-month option periods through 11/30/2031. Training includes ground school, flight training device instruction (minimum Level 5 FTD), and flight simulator training (minimum Level "C" including check). The contractor must provide Initial Pilot Qualification Training for both two-student and one-student crew scenarios, as well as Flight Test Engineer ground school training and recurrent training for pilots and flight test engineers. Supplementary training hours are also available. All line items include electronic and IT components scored at 03. The contract requires task orders issued with no-to-exceed line items, with prices pre-established in Section B and estimated annual training hours set as the contract minimum. Awards will be made to the lowest technically acceptable offeror based on five equally-weighted evaluation factors: approved training program evidence, aircraft/simulator ownership or lease, training aids and facilities availability, proposed ground and flight training hours, and proposed number of training days. All factors carry equal weight in source selection evaluation.
