A commercial, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Requirements contract is anticipated with a 60-month period of performance, including option periods, commencing 1 April 2007. North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 611512, size standard $23.5 million. The C-40A CACT program requires classroom (academic and practical) training, a Cockpit Familiarization Trainer (CFT) that depicts all cockpit systems, a Part Task Trainer (PTT) (for aircraft system training with trainee input and trainer response capability), and a FAA level ?C? or higher simulator. In lieu of the CFT or PTT a higher order device may be used. The flight simulator must be FAA certified to Level ?C? or higher under current FAA Advisory Circular 120-40 criteria for the Boeing 737-700/800 configured cockpit with freeze and repositioning capability. The following individual pilot/crew chief training courses are required: C-40A Pilot Initial Training and C-40A Pilot and Crew Chief Recurrent Training. The training courses must be presented at a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 142 certified training center for the Boeing 737-700 IGW aircraft at time of training. Instructors must be certified under Title 14 CFR Part 142. The contractor will be required to submit training syllabus for each course for government approval. For all courses, the contractor shall provide: all the necessary facilities, certified instructors, management personnel, scheduling/administrative personnel; materials; rights for use of materials for this contracted training, training devices, simulators; and courseware/materials needed for each course. Pilot Initial course attendees will be designated Military Aviators. Pilot Recurrent course attendees will be qualified Military C-40 Pilot-in-Command or Second Pilot Military Aviators that will have normally completed the C-40 Pilot Initial Course. Pilot Recurrent training will be broken into 3 distinct tracks identified as follows: 1.) Pilot 1 Recurrent Training will be a Copilot refresher-training course; 2.) Pilot 2 Recurrent Training will be an Aircraft Commander Upgrade training course; 3.) Pilot 3 Recurrent Training will be a currently qualified Aircraft Commander recurrent training course. Courses are stand-alone in that no contractor, pre-arrival training requirements of the trainee will be allowed. Courses may be existing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) training courses modified to meet specific requirements delineated herein. All training courses shall be taught in compliance with the C-40 Model Manager Approved Training Syllabi. The contractor will be required to submit a training syllabus for each course for government approval. C-40 training will not result in a FAA check flight or certification.
