Description

The Flight Training Program FY21 RFP solicits a contractor to deliver comprehensive pilot‑school instruction supporting Stephen F. Austin State University’s aviation degree program. The contractor must obtain FAA Part 141 provisional status, provide chief and line instructors, supply a fleet of modern single‑ and multi‑engine aircraft (including a spin‑capable plane), maintain simulators, and lease hangar space at the A.L. Mangham Jr. Regional Airport. Insurance, Title IX, FERPA, and other compliance requirements are detailed, and the financial proposal is weighted heavily in award evaluation. The contract runs for five academic years beginning August 2021, with an optional renewal clause.

FLIGHT TRAINING PROGRAM‑FY21

Contract value

$2,500,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract ceiling. Typical flight‑training costs range from $8,000–$15,000 per student per certification track, with additional aircraft‑hour and simulator fees. Assuming an average of 30 students per year across the four tracks (Private Pilot, Instrument, Commercial, Flight Instructor) at $12,000 each yields ~$360,000 annually. Adding aircraft lease, maintenance, and overhead (~$140,000) brings the yearly spend to roughly $500,000. Over a five‑year term, the contract value would approximate $2.5 million, with potential adjustments for enrollment fluctuations.
