About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center seeks flight demonstration services supporting the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School's Qualitative Evaluation Program, with quotations due August 25, 2026 at 9:00 A.M. Eastern time. The procurement is issued as a sole-source request for quotation with VERTOL SYSTEMS COMPANY, INC, though the Government states it will consider other offers, and will be awarded on a firm fixed-price basis under FAR Part 12.
Place of performance is KCEW Airport, Maryland, during September 1–30, 2026. The requirement comprises two contract line items: up to 14 demonstration flight hours in an MD-600N aircraft (tail number N266VS) and up to 10 demonstration flight hours in an MI-35 aircraft (tail number N204VS). Flight hours are calculated from takeoff to landing plus five minutes, billed in 0.1-hour increments.
The contractor must provide a FAA-certified Commercial Pilot with Certified Flight Instructor rating holding a minimum of 500 total flight hours, 250 pilot-in-command hours, and five hours in the aircraft type within the previous 60 days. Aircraft must be configured with dual flight controls, meet applicable FAA standards, operate in day VMC within controlled airspace, and comply with scheduled maintenance. USNTPS staff will conduct a pre-award equipment and maintenance inspection; all discrepancies must be corrected and documented at proposal submission. The contractor is responsible for all aircraft maintenance, fuel (JP-5, JP-8, or 100LL if provided), flight gear, third-party liability insurance, and maintenance records access. Flight hours accrue if flights return early due to weather-initiated recalls but do not accrue if flights fail to meet training objectives due to aircraft failure or safety pilot non-performance.
Quotation responses shall be submitted via email to roshaia.a.thomas.civ@us.navy.mil and must include FOB and shipping cost, tax identification, CAGE code, Dun & Bradstreet number, small business status, estimated delivery date, and any applicable pricelist. The NAICS code is 611512, Flight Training.
