About this opportunity
The United States Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is seeking qualified vendors to provide a new, Level D certified Full Motion Simulator for the Boeing 747-8i aircraft. This procurement involves a commercial simulator designed to provide realistic and immersive training for pilots transitioning to or maintaining currency in the 747-8i aircraft. Key requirements include FAA Level D certification, a six-degree-of-freedom motion platform, high-resolution visual systems, realistic cockpit environment, comprehensive aircraft systems simulation, detailed airport scenery, accurate aerodynamic modeling, and an intuitive instructor operating station. The notice requests vendors submit detailed information about their capabilities, company profile, relevant experience, technical capabilities, estimated delivery timeframe, potential challenges, and teaming arrangements. The response deadline is 5 PM EST on January 16, 2026, and this is a sources sought notice for market research purposes rather than a formal solicitation.
This opportunity has no set-aside designation and is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in the available documentation. Personnel involved in the simulator's development, installation, and maintenance will be required to obtain a Top Secret security clearance with potential Yankee White access due to the secure facility location where the simulator will be housed. The notice does not specify a firm award value or quantity, as this remains a pre-solicitation market research phase. Interested vendors should submit responses electronically to the specified Air Force points of contact by the stated deadline to participate in this opportunity.
