INTRODUCTION The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWC-AD) Specialized and Proven Aircraft Program Office (PMA-226) is seeking information regarding industry’s ability to provide a replacement for the T-38C Talon aircraft including full spectrum logistical support (i.e. maintenance, training, publications, etc.) on site in Government provided facilities to be used as a key tool for future Test pilot and Flight Test Engineer training at the United States Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS). The T-38C replacement at USNTPS is unofficially being called the Test Advanced Jet (TAJ). The TAJ is considered a graduate-level trainer and should be able to fulfill the requirements set forth in the USNTPS fixed-wing syllabus, which includes on-deck and airborne handling qualities, flying qualities, performance, and mission systems testing. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to determine the feasibility and estimated cost for the TAJ and full spectrum logistical support for a contractor-owned, government operated service-based contract. The results of this RFI will also be utilized to determine if any Small Business Set-Aside opportunities exist. All Small Business Set-Aside categories will be considered. In general, a minimum of five, fully mission capable (FMC) aircraft will be required daily to support a total of approximately 1,000 flight hours per fiscal year.
