Evaluation criteria will include past performance, management approach, and price. The pre-solicitation notice lists important dates of November 13, 2023 for questions and November 15-16, 2023 for optional one-on-one vendor sessions.

The anticipated single-award contract has no set-aside designation listed. The primary NAICS code is 488190 for other support activities for air transportation and the primary PSC code is likely V998 for simulation/training services. The incumbent contractors are unspecified but likely include companies such as Draken International and Tactical Air Support, Inc.
