Description

CALL FOR SOLUTIONS. This Call for Solutions is the first call under the DRAFT CSO � U.S. Army Aviation Training, formerly �DRAFT CSO � Flight School Next�, W9113M-25-S-C006. This requirement is the future of the Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) Training Program at Fort Rucker, Alabama, known as Flight School Next (FSN). The United States Government (USG) seeks a Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (COCO) solution using commercially available services and equipment on a single contract to provide annual training for 900 -1500 rotary wing pilots. The innovative commercial service to be acquired will be the first-time use of a fully commercial training platform for U.S. Army Aviation training. The contractor shall provide all services and equipment required to train pilots to a U.S. Army standard equivalent to the Federal Aviation Administration�s (FAA) commercial helicopter pilot certification, including single engine aircraft, parts, maintenance, instructors (both academic and flight), and simulation (if required). The place of performance to train the rotary wing pilots will be located at Fort Rucker, Alabama. The intent of the FSN Program is to increase the proficiency of U.S. Army aviators using commercially available equipment and instruction practices.
