Description

Texas State University is seeking one or more FAA‑Part 141 certified flight schools to provide both fixed‑wing and rotor‑wing pilot training for its students. The contractor must supply aircraft, qualified instructors, curriculum, maintenance, and extensive reporting while complying with university branding rules, safety, background‑check, and insurance requirements. The contract is a five‑year term (with limited renewal options) and will be funded by the university; the award will be based on qualifications (80 %) and price (20 %). • Deliver FAA‑Part 141 flight‑training (fixed‑wing and rotor‑wing) covering private, instrument, commercial, multi‑engine, and instructor ratings. • Provide sufficient aircraft, certified instructors, a chief flight instructor, and a maintenance program meeting Part 141 standards. • Meet extensive reporting cadence (weekly progress, bi‑weekly updates, semester‑end completion, 15‑day ad‑hoc reports) and comply with university branding, non‑targeted recruitment, cybersecurity, and insurance mandates. • Contract value is not disclosed; pricing must be submitted in the attached Pricing Proposal (Attachment B).

Budget estimate

$2,000,000 – $5,000,000

No contract‑value is disclosed. Based on typical FAA‑Part 141 flight‑school tuition ($40‑$80 k per student per year) and the university’s stated cohort of 5‑10 students annually over a five‑year term, total spend could range from roughly $2 million to $5 million. This estimate assumes the university funds the full training cost per student and includes aircraft use, instructor fees, maintenance, and overhead.
