About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a 15-month bridge contract modification with Crew Training International (CTI) for Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) pilot training services. The contract (FA4890-19-C-0003) covers critical training support at four locations including Holloman AFB, Creech AFB, Nellis AFB, March ARB, and Hancock Field ANGB, providing academic instruction, training device instruction, flight training, and courseware development. The bridge contract, valued between $15M and $100M, will run from April 2025 through June 2026, consisting of a six-month base period and three optional three-month periods. The justification for the sole source award stems from ongoing protests during the follow-on acquisition process, which necessitate maintaining continuous training services to prevent operational gaps in RPA pilot qualification training. The contract will be funded through 3400 appropriations from three organizations: 49th Operations Group, NGB/A3E, and ACC/A3MU, ensuring uninterrupted support for Initial Qualification, Combat Mission Readiness, Requalification, and Instructor Upgrade training levels.
