SOO Attachment 4 - Supplemental Operating Procedures and Guidance.PDF

The document is a Statement of Objectives (SOO) Attachment 4 related to the U.S. Army's Flight School Next (FSN) program, which seeks a Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (COCO) solution for rotary wing pilot training. The U.S. Army is soliciting a comprehensive commercial training platform to provide annual training for 900-1,500 rotary wing pilots at Fort Rucker, Alabama, with the goal of training pilots to a standard equivalent to the Federal Aviation Administration's commercial helicopter pilot certification.

Key event details include a Pre-Solution Conference scheduled for December 4, 2025, at Redstone Arsenal's Bob Jones Auditorium from 0900-1100 hours. The conference will review the Call for Solutions (C4S), Statement of Objectives, and discuss four phases of submissions and evaluations. The solicitation (W9113M-25-S-C006-0001) requires contractors to provide all necessary services and equipment, including single engine aircraft, parts, maintenance, academic and flight instructors, and potential simulation training. The procurement represents an innovative approach to U.S. Army Aviation training by leveraging fully commercial training practices and equipment.
