As a reminder to Industry Partners interested in the UJTS procurement opportunity - in accordance with the Industry Day slides provided on the sam.gov Special Notice (see slide 4), the only sources of official program information are from sam.gov and the Procuring Contracting Officer. Any other sources of information are not considered official, and any questions about program information shall be directed to the Procuring Contracting Officer.

Additionally, the Navy would like to relay the following information to industry, as requested, in support of the Undergraduate Jet Training Program (UJTS). Refer back to RFI Notice Id: 25-0001_UJTS dated 14 April 2025.

Maintenance Strategy:

The Navy contemplates aligning the UJTS maintenance concept with other CNATRA programs (Full CLS maintenance concept for O,I & D at the fielding sites). However, the UJTS program will go through the CORE determination and Depot Source of Repair (DSOR) process after contract award to establish the final maintenance concept for the program. The contractor will support a Product Support Analysis as part of the awarded contract and help establish the maintenance strategy for the platform.
