The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires the capability of an advanced Level D aircraft simulator. This simulator will be used to conduct training and qualification required under Part 135 for Flight Program Operations (AJF) pilots. It will also be used for Aviation Safety Inspector (ASI) training and Aircraft Certification Crew Resource Management programs. The simulator will support the sustainment initiatives for the evolving national aerospace environment. The simulator must be representative of the Beechcraft 360ER aircraft and fulfill the design requirement of the recent FAA Flight Program purchased Textron BE360ER aircraft. The 360ER simulator will provide all levels of pilot training, including initial aircraft qualification training, recurrent qualification training, instrument refresher training, landing and instrument approach re-currency training, emergency procedure training, and crew standardization training. It will be used to validate flight procedures, verify the accuracy of procedure databases, and evaluate flyability and safety of new and amended procedures. The simulator must be Level D certified or equivalent, in accordance with 14 CFR Part 60 and the Qualification Test Guide (QTG) for Airplane Simulator Qualification. Additional requirements include product support, training, and contractor maintenance support after installation.

The anticipated period of performance for this requirement will begin at contract award for a Base Period not to exceed five years, with two years for production and installation of the simulator and 3 years for Logistics support. Two option periods are also contemplated.

This announcement is a competitive, firm-fixed price negotiated procurement using “Best Value” trade-off process.
