A commercial, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Requirements contract is anticipated with a 60-month period of performance commencing 1 April 2012. North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 611512, size standard $25.5 million. This acquisition is a Small-Business Set-aside. 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.

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.
