Contractors must meet stringent qualifications including active surface-level aerobatic waivers and unrestricted Level I Statement of Competency cards for all pilots, along with $1,000,000 per aircraft personal liability insurance for bodily injury and property damage. The evaluation will assess capability packages demonstrating service performance ability, contractor experience, and compliance with all performance, safety, and security requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement.
