The procurement is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price contract with all-inclusive pricing covering labor, rental, maintenance, and delivery/pickup. Evaluation uses Highest Technically Rated with Fair and Reasonable Price (HTRO) approach, weighing technical factors (Key Personnel Qualifications, Technical Approach & Methodology, and contractor-provided software capability) and Past Performance (within three years of solicitation issuance), followed by price fairness evaluation for the highest-rated proposal. NAICS code is 611512 (Flight Training) with $34 million size standard; PSC is U013 (Education/Training-Combat).
