This Performance Work Statement outlines a non-personnel services contract for providing a Rockwell Sabreliner 60 or HU-16 aircraft and qualified flight instructor(s) to the USAF Test Pilot School (TPS) at Edwards AFB, CA. The primary purpose is to conduct Qualitative Evaluation (QE) flights and support Test Management Projects (TMPs), broadening student experience with unique aircraft. The contract is for one year, with performance primarily at Edwards AFB or mutually agreed-upon alternative locations like Lake Mead for HU-16 water landings. Key requirements include providing flight instruction, classroom lectures, pre-flight briefs, and post-flight debriefs. The contractor must ensure aircraft airworthiness, maintain specific communication and navigation systems, and have dual controls. Instructor pilots need an FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate, type rating, 1,500 flight hours (250 in type), and 500 instructor hours (50 in type), with recent TPS instruction experience. The government will provide base support services such as emergency medical services, refuse collection, security, and fuel, but the contractor is responsible for aircraft recovery equipment. Performance will be evaluated based on flight instruction effectiveness, aircraft and crew availability, regulatory adherence, and management, with penalties for non-compliance. The contractor must comply with all security, environmental, and IT regulations, including background checks and proper handling of controlled unclassified information.
