About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking a bridge contract for Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) Air and Ground Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Training Support Services. The procurement will support MQ-9 remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) training through comprehensive exercise and simulation services, including Opposing Forces (OPFOR), Friendly Forces (BLUFOR), and tactical controller support. The contract will involve providing personnel, equipment, and resources to conduct realistic training scenarios at multiple military installations including Holloman AFB, Creech AFB, Nellis AFB, March ARB, and Hancock Field ANGB. This Request for Information (RFI) is specifically seeking industry input on the appropriateness of a 15-month bridge contract approach, potential benefits of shorter contract durations, and competitive viability. Responses to the RFI are due by December 16, 2024 at 12:00 PM ET, with an anticipated contract award date of March 31, 2025.
The procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS category 611512 (Flight Training) with a planned sole source award to The Rockhill Group Inc. The bridge contract will span 15 months, from April 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, consisting of a 6-month base period and three 3-month option periods. The delay in this bridge contract is necessitated by protests that have impeded the follow-on contract (FA489023R0065), which is expected to commence between August 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026. The current contract, originally awarded in 2015, will be extended through this bridge mechanism to ensure continuous training support for military remotely piloted aircraft operations. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the contract will cover comprehensive training services across multiple military installations with potential for future expansion of training scope and locations.
