INTRODUCTION

The Department of War (DoW), Department of the Navy (DON), Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), PMA-273 Naval Undergraduate Flight Training Systems has the requirement to provide intermediate and advanced training for undergraduate United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) jet aviators and flight officers. The UJTS requirement will be for the Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) of the UJTS solution as well as the procurement of the first lot of Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) aircraft, limited quantities of ground-based training systems (GBTS) and interim contractor logistic services (I-CLS).

ELIGIBILITY

The Product Service Code (PSC) for this requirement will be 1510 (Aircraft, Fixed Wing). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing). This requirement is being pursued via full and open competition.

ANTICIPATED PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

The requirements identified within the Statements of Works (SOWs) shall be performed at Contractor Facilities and the appropriate Government locations in accordance with Section F of the RFP.

ANTICIPATED CONTRACT TYPE

The contract is anticipated to include a Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee (CPIF) CLIN for EMD, Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) CLIN(s) for LRIP Lot 1 and Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) CLIN(s) for Site Activation and I-CLS. This is expected to be a standalone C-type contract. Additional details can be found within Section B of the RFP.

The Government expects to select one Offeror on the basis of its proposal providing the “best value” to the Government. However, the Government may award contracts to the two Highest Technically Rated Offerors if funding is available and awarding two contracts offers the greatest value for the warfighter. The award, whether to one Offeror or two, will be based on the evaluation of proposals in accordance with the Section M criteria. If two contracts are awarded, the Government intends to release a solicitation prior to the end of the contracts to perform the down select between the two Offerors.

REQUIREMENTS

See the Statement of Work (SOW) documents incorporated in the RFP as Attachments 2 (EMD SOW), 3 (LRIP SOW) and 4 (I-CLS SOW).
