About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 338th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (338 ESS), has issued a Special Notice regarding a sole-source contract for C-130J simulator training. The notice indicates the intent to award a firm-fixed price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation. The contract will be awarded under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), which allows for a single source procurement when no other suppliers can meet agency requirements. The sole source justification centers on the Hercules Training Center (HTC) in Marietta, Georgia, being the only U.S. contractor facility capable of providing level "D" C-130J simulator training with six degrees of freedom. This facility is uniquely positioned to support International Military Students (IMS) with fully developed training courses and tailored materials.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to procure specialized C-130J simulator training services for a three-year base ordering period with two option years, beginning January 8, 2025. Lockheed Martin Corporation is the sole eligible contractor due to its exclusive ownership of the only level "D" simulators outside the Department of Defense that can support the training requirements. Contractors should note that this is not a competitive solicitation, and the government retains full discretion in completing the requirement. Interested parties must submit any questions via email by 3:00 PM CST on January 3, 2025, and can contact Luis Camarza (luis.camaraza@us.af.mil) or Matthew DeLeon (matthew.deleon.3@us.af.mil) for additional information. The contract falls under the NAICS category 611512 for Flight Training and PSC category U006-P for Education/Training-Vocational/Technical, with an anticipated award effective date of January 8, 2025.
Notice text
The Department of the Air Force, 338th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (338 ESS) intends to award a single follow-on firm-fixed price (FFP) Indefinite delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Lockheed Martin Corp., 100 Global Innovation Circle Orlando, Florida 32825 under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will satisfy Agency Requirements”.
The Hercules Training Center (HTC) in Marietta, Georgia, owned by Lockheed Martin Corporation, is the only contractor facility in the United States able to provide level “D” C-130J simulator training with six (6) degrees of freedom (Yaw, Pitch, Heave, Thrust, Roll and Sway). All other C-130J training is provided on simulators owned and operated by the Department of Defense (DoD); these simulators are not always available to support International Military Students (IMS). The simulators owned and operated by the HTC are the only level “D” simulators in the United States, outside the DoD, which are available to support this requirement. In addition, no other source currently has fully developed training courses, manuals, handouts, and cockpit mock-up panels that are individually tailored for Foreign Military Sales customers for C130J.
