About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) for a thirteen-month bridge contract (FA4890-20-C-0013) for Command and Control, Contract Aircrew Training, and Courseware Development. The sole-source bridge action will be awarded to Advanced Concepts Enterprises, Inc. under a 100% small business set-aside, with a performance period from 1 April 2026 to 30 April 2027, covering Luke AFB and multiple other military bases across the United States and one location in Italy. The contract involves furnishing personnel, equipment, and services for Command and Control Contract Aircrew Training, including platform training, remedial training, continuation training, and computer-based instruction monitoring.
The RFI seeks industry input on two key questions: whether a four to six-month contract provides government benefits that outweigh source selection costs, and whether a thirteen-month performance period would generate a competitive environment. The follow-on contract (FA4890-25-R-0034) is estimated to begin between 1 September and 1 December 2026, with this bridge action necessitated by a prolonged government shutdown affecting the recompete timeline. Interested parties are requested to submit responses by 16 January 2026 at 12:00 pm eastern time, with foreign participation expressly prohibited. The anticipated bridge contract award is no later than 31 March 2026.

NOTICE OF INTENT – Bridge Action For: Contract FA4890-20-C-0013, Command and Control, Contract Aircrew Training and Courseware Development (CAT/CWD)
THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. ACC Acquisition Management & Integration Center (AMIC) intends to award a thirteen-month, sole source bridge contract action to Advanced Concepts Enterprises, Inc., 53 3rd St, Bldg 3, Shalimar, FL under the authority of FAR 6.302-1
– 10 USC 3204(a)(1), Only One Responsible Source - No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Places of performance are Luke AFB, AZ; Rome, NY; Joint-Base Lewis- McChord, WA; Joint-Base Elmendorf-Richardson, AK; Joint-Base Pearl Harbor, HI; Robins AFB, GA;
Tinker AFB, OK; Hill AFB, UT; Mountain Home AFB, ID; Fort Hood, TX; Fort Bliss, TX; Fort Drum, NY; Fort Riley, KS; Fort Carson, CO; Fort Bragg, NC; Fort Stewart, GA; Fort Campbell, KY; Nellis AFB, NV; Camp Bullis, TX; Aviano AB, Italy; Fort Irwin, CA. The period of performance for the bridge action will be 1 April 2026 – 30 April 2027 and is inclusive of a seven-month base period and two (2) three-month option periods. Anticipated award for the bridge action is NLT 31 March 2026. Interested parties are requested to submit their responses to this RFI and/or capability package NLT 16 January 2026, 12:00 pm eastern time to the POC listed at the end of this notice. The Government will provide an email confirmation of response. Offerors are advised that foreign participation is not permitted.
The current contract was solicited as a commercial, Firm Fixed Priced, 100% SB set-aside and awarded to Advanced Concepts Enterprises, Inc. under the PSC code of U009 (Education/Training) and NAICS code 611512 (Flight Training). Current contract support includes, but is not limited to the following: to furnish all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and all other items and services required to perform and support Command and Control (C2) Contract Aircrew Training (CAT), Courseware Development (CWD) and Staff Support positions. Academic instruction shall include platform training, remedial training, continuation training and monitoring of computer-based and self-paced instruction periods.
The follow-on contract is to be solicited under FA4890-25-R-0034. Due to a prolonged Government shut-down affecting the recompete timeline, a bridge contract is required to continue receiving these highly specialized services until the follow-on contract can begin performance. The bridge action will be awarded NLT 31 March 2026 since the current end of performance of the current contract (FA4890-20- C-0013) is 31 March 2026.
This RFI meets the requirement to post IAW DFARS 206.302-1. When issuing a bridge under FAR 6.302-1 authority, the Government is required to post a sources sought or RFI to substantiate their reasoning for using said authority. Accordingly, the Government is requesting industry to respond to the following two items:
1) Does industry believe that soliciting and awarding a contract for between four to six months for performance of described services above give any benefit to the Government? If so, does that benefit outweigh the costs of conducting a new source selection?
2) Does industry believe that a new source selection for thirteen months of performance would result in a competitive environment? If yes, please provide your capability package.
The follow-on acquisition is estimated to begin performance sometime between 1 September 2026 –1 December 2026. All required postings will be accomplished via SAM.gov.
