About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is soliciting professional training services for a specialized eight-day Tactical Snow and Ice Training course focused on cold weather mountain rescue operations. The solicitation (FA527026QB004) seeks to train twelve personnel from the 31st Rescue Squadron at Kadena Air Base in advanced snow and ice techniques, including avalanche terrain analysis, ice climbing, mission planning, and casualty evacuation, with the goal of advancing participants from Mountain Team Member to Mountain Operator or from Mountain Operator to Mountain Team Leader. Key requirements mandate that instructors possess prior special operations mountain training experience, with the lead instructor holding American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) guide certification and compliance with AFMAN 10-3507 standards. Evaluation will be based on submitted firm fixed-price quotes for per-person training costs, and vendors must submit responses via email to 2d Lt Brandon Campbell by 10:00 AM Japan Standard Time on January 7, 2026, with questions due by December 15, 2025. The quote submission must remain valid through January 18, 2026.
This is a full and open competition with no socio-economic set-asides, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the available documentation. The solicitation is structured as a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with an estimated ceiling of $350,000, making it suitable for organizations capable of delivering specialized mountain training services. The training course comprises one day of classroom instruction, two days of skiing and skinning techniques, and five days of backcountry/ice climbing performance training and mission planning scenarios. Performance will take place entirely in Okinawa, Japan, to minimize travel disruptions for the Air Force personnel. Prospective vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and prepared to comply with extensive federal acquisition regulations, including cybersecurity and supply chain security requirements, with the contract expected to commence following award.
