Description(s): SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS/REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR F16 VIPER CONTRACT TEST PILOT INSTRUCTOR

THIS IS A MARKET SURVEY FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPISIS. NO REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE MADE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO THIS SYNOPSIS OR ANY FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION REQUESTS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SYNOPSIS IS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE OF POTENTIALLY QUALIFIED SOURCES AND THEIR SIZE CLASSIFICATIONS (SMALL BUSINESS, LARGE BUSINESS, ETC.). PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF A SOLICITATION, AS ONE DOES NOT EXIST.

1. Purpose.

This is a sources sought synopsis in support of Market Research being conducted by the United States Air Force to identify potential sources for an F-16 Viper Contract Test Pilot Instructor.

2. Requirement.

The 416 FLTS requires part-time F-16 instructor test pilot support for squadron flying and other activities. Scarce resources and variable manning within the USAF establish that 416 FLTS requires a flight test professional who can provide support on in a variety of mission sets and who can also serve as an informal mentor for squadron test pilots and engineers.

Support will be required intermittently, aligned with 416 FLTS flight test and support schedules, as well as mission requirements. The frequency and duration of support will naturally vary with mission test requirements and USAF manning, which can fluctuate seasonally.

In order to meet the varied and important mandate of 416 FLTS, the contract test pilot instructor shall require an extensive background in the F-16 and first-hand, recent experience flying the F-16 at 416 FLTS and 412 TW. The 416 FLTS is not in a position to, and will not, provide F-16 training, conversion or otherwise. Accordingly, the contractor shall be able to contribute to the squadron-s test and support F-16 flying mission immediately, without any training or workup.
