The Navy first invited contractors to submit proposals in October
with a due date of Nov. 28.
On Wednesday, NAVAIR, located in Patuxent, Md., announced they
have extended the original due date to Jan. 4.
This acquisition is anticipated to be awarded as an
Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity type contract with a firm fixed price
for four years, the Navy said in contract documents.
The contract is being managed by NAVAIR’s Specialized and
Proven Aircraft Program Office (PMA-226) Contracted Air Services program.
PMA-226 is responsible for the following platforms and
services: Adversary Aircraft (F-5, F-16); Contracted Aircraft Services; U.S.
Naval Test Pilot School / Naval Postgraduate School T-38, H-72, X-26, U-6,
NU-1B, O-2, OH-58C; and Out of Active Navy Inventory Aircraft T-2, H-2, H-3, A-4.
Additional details and documents related to the contract are
not publicly available.
The U.S. military routinely hires contractor aircraft to act
as aggressors and participate in training, research, and development programs.
