Centralized Contractor Operated Initial Flight Screening Program at Pueblo, Colorado
Abstract
The proposed action is to establish a contractor operated consolidated Initial Flight Screening (IFS) program for the USAF. IFS will be the first step in the Air Force Undergraduate Flying Training (UFT) process. IFS will provide ground training, and approximately 19 sorties and 25 hours of flight instruction (which includes final check-ride) to students in preparation for Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT). There are two objectives of the IFS program. The first objective is to provide the United States Air Force (USAF) an opportunity to screen aviation candidates prior to acceptance for UFT attendance. The second objective is to develop the student s aviation skills in order to enhance their ability to succeed in UFT. In addition to analyzing the proposed action in this Environmental Assessment, combination use of auxiliary airports to reduce effects at the main operating location are evaluate as well as the No Action Alternative. The USAF recently completed a thorough, competitive, best-value source selection process for the IFS program in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements and procedures governing federal acquisitions. The USAF's Request for Proposal (RFP) for the IFS program contemplated the award of a Firm-Fixed Price Contract that includes a six-month start-up period to be followed by a one-year base period of performance, and up to ten additional option-years of performance. The contractor will furnish all facilities, manning, equipment and support services necessary to screen potential aviator candidates using AETC's IFS course syllabus. The RFP included five main evaluation criteria for the proposals, one of which pertained to environmental factors that required offerors to provide information on environmental training, compliance, effects and community relations. The USAF's Procurement Executive Office (PEO) for Services served as the Source Selection Authority (SSA) for this procurement.
