Aircraft Recovery and Salvage Training

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella, is procuring comprehensive Aircraft Recovery and Salvage Training for Navy Region EURAFCENT to ensure sustained safe airfield operations throughout Europe, Africa, and Central regions. The requirement calls for two customized training classes meeting or exceeding minimum standards outlined in the Statement of Work, utilizing advanced multimedia teaching techniques and industry-recognized instructional methods. Training courses must address aircraft recovery principles, equipment familiarization, regulatory compliance per NAVAIR and AFI directives, and practical hands-on exercises using contractor-provided narrow-body or equivalent static aircraft. Key requirements include instructors with expertise in Boeing and Airbus recovery manuals, English language proficiency, provision of classroom materials and Personal Protective Equipment (except safety boots), secure European theater facilities, and industry-recognized Aircraft Recovery Certificates of Proficiency for students. A formal Request for Quote is anticipated on or about February 13, 2026, with this Pre-solicitation Notice posted on January 30, 2026, providing industry notification of the forthcoming procurement opportunity.

This acquisition carries no set-aside designation and will be unrestricted, open to all qualified contractors. The government anticipates awarding a single Firm-Fixed-Price indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with a five-year ordering period, though the Notice does not specify total contract value or budget range. Training will support 8-12 students per class across two sessions, with a historical requirement of approximately 24 personnel trained annually, though the contract guarantees only a minimum of one training event over the entire contract duration with no obligation for additional sessions. Each training class will span five consecutive days conducted within the European theater, with instruction provided at 10 hours daily including a one-hour lunch break. The contractor must furnish a minimum of two non-participating safety observers per class, coordinate transportation between hotels and training sites, and provide medical first responder emergency services.
