The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Fort Eustis is conducting market research through this sources sought notice to identify qualified vendors capable of delivering Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) licensing training and certification services to eligible Army Soldiers. The program, administered through the Army Aviation Center of Excellence (AVCoE) Institutionally Delivered Credentialing (IDC) initiative, requires vendors to provide comprehensive training services including FAA technical instruction, hands-on training, preparation courses, examination materials, and coordination of oral and practical evaluations in compliance with FAA FAR Part 147 and Part 65 standards. Eligible participants must possess a minimum of 30 months of aviation Military Occupational Specialty qualification and FAA testing authorization, and all required services must be delivered within a strict $4,000 per-Soldier funding cap at market rates. Interested vendors must submit a capability statement of no more than 10 pages addressing past performance, team management experience, specific capabilities, small business status, and ability to perform at least 50 percent of tasking if applicable, with responses due by March 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST to Laura J.

No set-aside designation has been established for this procurement, though the government may elect to award to small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned businesses, HUBZone-certified businesses, or service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns, or conduct unrestricted competition. The applicable NAICS code is 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools) with a Small Business Size Standard of $21,000,000, and no incumbent contractors are identified in this sources sought notice. The contract will be structured as Firm Fixed Price with a base period of five months (May 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026) followed by four 12-month option periods (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2030) and one 6-month extension (October 1, 2030 through March 31, 2031), encompassing a total period of performance of 41 months. While specific award values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, the $4,000 per-Soldier cap and comprehensive service requirements indicate a substantial contract opportunity dependent on the volume of eligible Soldiers enrolled in the program during the performance period.
