About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force's Air Education and Training Command is seeking market information for a supplemental pilot training program utilizing contractor-owned light business jets. The primary objective is to address training gaps and provide a more cost-effective aviation training solution. Specifically, the government requires a contractor to conduct over 400 pilot training hours per month using HondaJet Elite or similar aircraft at the contractor's location. The Request for Information (RFI) covers a potential 5-year performance period spanning the contiguous United States, Alaska, and Hawaii, with responses due by January 24, 2025. Vendors must submit detailed company information, demonstrate capabilities to finance and manage multiple light business jets, provide past performance evidence, and suggest pricing methodologies including fixed price, cost-reimbursable, or hybrid approaches.
The procurement falls under NAICS code 611512 (Flying Instruction) with a small business size standard of $34 million in average annual receipts. There is currently no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity, indicating it will be open to a broad range of qualified vendors. While no specific award value is mentioned, the requirement for managing multiple aircraft and conducting over 400 training hours monthly suggests a significant potential contract value. The RFI emphasizes that this is not a formal solicitation and will not result in an immediate contract award, but instead serves to gather critical market intelligence about industry capabilities. Interested contractors are required to submit comprehensive responses via email to three point of contact representatives at JBSA-Randolph, TX, with a focus on identifying potential performance risks and cost considerations.
