DRAFT Call for Solutions - Flight School Next (FSN)

The Army’s Flight School Next (FSN) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) seeks integrated training solutions that include a specific rotary‑wing airframe, detailed logistics and sustainment plans, and associated simulation options. Offerors must submit a Phase III Commercial Solution Proposal by 31 October 2025 that includes a 10‑page Performance Work Statement (PWS) limited to the required sections—Objective, Scope, and Solution‑Specific Tasks—plus a detailed schedule, reporting requirements, and deliverables for the Integrated Product Team. The PWS must contain the statement “Conduct presentations and meetings at times and places specified in the contract schedule,” exclude proprietary information, and be formatted with dated title page and page numbers. Proposals must also contain a comprehensive Small Business Subcontracting Plan that meets FAR/DFARS requirements, discloses total subcontracted value (dollar and percentage), outlines goals, supplier‑location methods, and cost‑allocation approach, and provides justification if FY 25 DoD subcontracting goals are not met. Technical and commercial content must address intellectual property and data‑rights provisions (royalties, limited licenses, options, right‑of‑first‑refusal, etc.), identify any Army support required, and specify the helicopter model(s) proposed—offerors may propose a mix of airframes, which will be evaluated on technical and logistical merit. The solicitation permits multiple, separate solution submissions per prime contractor and does not impose a dollar ceiling on individual awards; any award exceeding $100 million will require senior approval. Evaluation phases include Phase II presentations and Phase III commercial solution review, with award notifications indicating “Recommended,” “Selected but Not Recommended,” or “Not Selected.” Pricing must be detailed enough to demonstrate fairness and reasonableness, and the Army reserves the right to modify the PWS language prior to award.
