Aviation Training Consulting, LLC

Aviation Training Consulting, LLC, a veteran-owned small business (VOSB) and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Altus, Oklahoma, is a prime contractor on multiple federal aviation training, instruction, and systems engineering vehicles serving the Department of Defense with cumulative potential value exceeding $54.9 billion. The company holds seats on the $32.5 billion Training Systems Acquisition IV (TSA IV) IDIQ, three OASIS+ multiple-award contracts (Unrestricted, Total Small Business, and SDVOSB variants), the $151 billion Missile Defense Agency SHIELD IDIQ, and single-award and multiple-award contracts with Naval Air Warfare Center and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. Aviation Training Consulting competes predominantly as a prime (97% of recent awards) and pursues work across full-and-open and small-business set-aside vehicles without a characteristic set-aside posture.

The company's capability portfolio centers on military aviation instruction, aircrew and maintenance training systems, training courseware development, logistics support, and systems engineering for military aircraft platforms including the KC-130J, B-52, E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System, and E-2 Hawkeye. Representative prime work includes a $127.2 million delivery order awarded January 19, 2024, by Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center for Kirtland, Davis-Monthan, Andrews, and Moody Air Force bases aircrew training and rehearsal support courseware and instruction under TSA III through February 2029; an $11.4 million firm fixed-price delivery order issued March 17, 2026, by Naval Air Warfare Center for FY26 Kuwait education and training services through March 2027; and a $12.4 million delivery order awarded March 16, 2025, for FY25 KC-130J training in Kuwait. The company also recently received a seat on the SHIELD IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency for research, development, systems engineering, prototyping, and production across multi-domain air, missile, space, and cyber defense with a December 28, 2035 completion date.

Customer concentration tracks heavily to Air Force and Navy training and logistics programs. The top five funding agencies account for 90% of awards by count: the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (47 awards, $15 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (24 awards, $302.7 million combined potential value), the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center (10 awards, $54.59 billion combined potential value), the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $700 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $4 thousand combined potential value). The potential-value ranking diverges sharply from award count — the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center anchors 99.6% of combined potential value through TSA IV and related vehicle seats, while AETC dominates order volume with 47 small training and courseware delivery orders.

Aviation Training Consulting places task orders across a diversified vehicle portfolio. The top parent vehicles by task-order count include an Air Education and Training Command IDIQ (46 task orders, $2.2 million combined potential value), a Naval Air Warfare Center IDIQ designated N6133905D0024 (7 task orders, $3.8 million combined potential value), another Naval Air Warfare Center IDIQ designated N6134022D0005 (5 task orders, $66.3 million combined potential value), a fourth Naval Air Warfare Center IDIQ designated N6134017D0008 (4 task orders, $55.5 million combined potential value), and TSA III under Air Force Materiel Command (3 task orders, $159 million combined potential value). Recent activity shows award velocity of four to six per year from 2022 through 2025, with only one award captured in the first quarter of 2026. The company faces a modest recompete cliff: two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $11.4 million.

Across SCI-reportable service contracts (a strict subset of federal services above the $150,000 threshold, excluding goods and products), Aviation Training Consulting invoiced $32.7 million in prime contract revenue from FY2022 through FY2024, with government-paid hourly rates distributed across a median of approximately $421/hr and a range from roughly $62/hr at the tenth percentile to $447/hr at the ninety percentile, reflecting a mix of instruction delivery (lower-cost labor) and senior engineering and program management (higher-cost labor). SCI-reported FTE delivery declined materially across the period, from 49.7 FTEs in FY2022 (41.6 FTEs on prime records and 8.1 FTEs across two subcontractor records) to 36.2 FTEs in FY2023 (all on prime records) and 11.7 FTEs in FY2024 (8.9 FTEs on one prime record and 2.8 FTEs across two sub records). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the company engaged an average of 17% of contractor hours through named subcontractors, with four named subcontractors identified in the SCI dataset. In its subcontractor role, Aviation Training Consulting delivers training systems analysis, aircrew instruction, and courseware support to Defense Systems and Solutions (Indian Navy MH-60R pilot and maintenance training), KBR Wyle Services (E-2 Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound training systems analysis), and CAE USA Inc. (E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System flight crew trainer courseware support). The company operates a named subsidiary, Altum-ATC JV LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and women-owned small business joint venture.

ATC offers software and hardware engineering services including: development, systems integration, modification kit production, test and evaluation, quality assurance, in addition to comprehensive services in the development, operations and support of aviation training programs focused on: managing and operating aircrew training systems, using ISD to develop effective training, offering customized training solutions.
