Description
The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research via an RFI to identify commercial providers capable of delivering comprehensive training and support services for C‑208 (Cessna 208B Caravan EX) and PC‑12 (Pilatus PC‑12) special‑mission aircraft. The effort seeks capabilities spanning initial and recurrent pilot training, maintenance technician instruction, avionics and sensor‑operator training, curriculum development, simulator/FTD usage, and associated logistics such as housing for international students. Responses will inform future acquisition planning for potential contracts providing aircrew and maintenance training domestically and internationally.
• Required services include pilot ground school, flight training, simulator/FTD training, and maintenance technician courses for both aircraft types.
• Vendors must detail aircraft availability, training facilities, instructor qualifications, curriculum, and ability to support international partners (e.g., interpreters, language support).
• No pricing is requested at this stage; the RFI is solely for capability assessment, with responses due by 28 Oct 2026.
