United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine Aeromedical Aviation Laboratory

USAF is awarding this follow-on contract as a result of mistakenly not exercising the final option on the previous contract that would have ended 1 Dec 21.  This Firm Fixed Price, 12 month, Sole Source contract will allow for the USAF to compete the follow-on effort as originally intended.  This new contract needs to be awarded on or before 29 January 2021 in order to prevent a break in scheduled mandatory training for the USAF student Physicians and Flight Surgeons. The contractor trains 100% of the USAF's Flight Surgeons in an Air Force Specialty Code awarding course entitled Aerospace Medicine Primary (AMP). The AMP course is composed of three increments: AMP 101, AMP 201, and AMP 202. AMP increments 101 and 202 utilize an AAL to introduce AMP students to military flight operations.  The AMP curriculum is specifically designed to expose medical and flight surgeon students to the rigors of flying, mission planning, modern cockpit symbology, disorientation, instrument procedures, aerobatics, low-level navigation, and formation flight in a setting that closely mirrors USAF Undergraduate Flight Training (UFT).  There are three objectives of the AAL program. The first is to provide the student flight surgeon insight to the human response to the flight environment.  The second is to develop the student USAF flight surgeon into a valued combat crewmember regardless of the weapon system to which they are assigned.  The final objective is to provide the equivalent of six to eight months of operational military flight surgeon experience to USAFSAM AMP graduates.
