This is a Sources Sought Synopsis and Request for Information (RFI) announcement to afford industry an opportunity to provide information regarding their capabilities to provide commercial items and services. This is not a Request for Quotation (RFQ) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government to form a binding contract.
USAF Test Pilot School is looking to award a one-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to vendors who can provide Piaggio P-180 AVANTI aircraft to support staff evaluation and qualitative evaluation flights.
Requirements:
1. Test Pilot School (TPS) is requesting sufficient sorties to support two classes per year, which equates to about 48 students. Each student shall have the opportunity to fly the aircraft from either left or right seat position (depending on students- background) with vendor safety pilot at alternate controls at all times. Length of sorties will depend on number of students and profile flown. For example, it is estimated that 6 - 8 students onboard will require a 3 - 4 hour sortie. This approximates to 30 minutes per student at the controls.
2. A limited number of staff flights are also required, in conjunction with student flights.
3. Flight operations will occur from Edwards AFB, CA (KEDW) or local airfield such as Mojave Spaceport. CA (KMHV). For aircrafts based outside local area, aircraft shall be ferried to the designated operating location. It estimated that two (2) ferries per year is required.
5. Flight support from the vendor will include aircraft flights, ground support (i.e. crew chief and maintenance), pre-flight training, instructor/safety pilots, and required briefings.
6. TPS will provide fuel (or reimbursement) as required to perform required flights. Hangar space and other ground support/equipment will be provided upon mutual agreement between TPS and vendor.
7. The Period of Performance for this is one (1) year from award.
