The FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City wants initial and recurrent ground school and simulator training on the Airbus A-330 for FAA inspectors and pilots. It plans a fixed-price indefinite delivery/requirements contract with a 1-year base and one 4-year option, awarded on lowest price technically acceptable. The notice has conflicting due dates, so confirm the real one.
Watch out for
- Conflicting due dates. The text says proposals are due October 9, 2026, which is one day after posting, while the SAM.gov field says October 23, 2026; ask the Contracting Officer before relying on either.
any proposals received after the due time and date of 2:00 P.M. CDT, October 9, 2026, will not be considered.
- Late proposals rejected. Proposals that miss the deadline will not be considered, so a wrong date could cost you the bid.
- Incomplete proposals risk rejection. Leaving out any requested information can make the proposal non-responsive.
if all requested information is not furnished in the offeror's proposal, the offeror's proposal may be determined to be non-responsive
- Specialized training capability. Airbus A-330 simulator and flight training requires access to certified training devices, which few small firms have in-house.
