SS Notice-Resps to Questions- 1 AS Indoc Training.docx

This is a Sources Sought Notice and Responses to Questions document for the 1st Airlift Squadron (1 AS) Special Air Mission Pilot Indoctrination Training procurement. The 316th Contracting Squadron is conducting market research to identify contractors capable of developing unclassified, virtual training modules for military pilots transitioning from military jets to commercial-style aircraft. The contractor must deliver training content as high-quality videos, interactive computer-based training (CBT), or a combination thereof, with initial two modules due within 60 days of award and remaining modules within 180 days of award.

Eligible contractors must employ full-time, dedicated personnel with a minimum average of 20 years of U.S. commercial aviation experience, including backgrounds with major U.S. airlines and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) experience. The government will grant temporary, escorted access to aircraft flight decks as needed for videography purposes. Once delivered, the squadron will retain these virtual courses for long-term reference and use during and after pilot indoctrination completion. This is a pre-solicitation market research effort for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation, commitment, or promise to award a contract. The government will not reimburse response preparation costs, and written responses from responsible sources will be fully considered. Non-response does not preclude participation in future procurement actions related to this requirement.
