Primary Latest Change

Posted: Feb. 3, 2026, 11:02 a.m. EST USDA, Forest Service aviation and interagency partners have a need to evolve training capacity and delivery for aviation managers and tactical resources beyond current capabilities. This contract will provide equipment and support personnel and may include optional contracted instructors to deliver standard course simulations that will be developed between the government and the contractor. The contractor and the government will create entry level, moderate and advanced wildfire-based simulations for aerial supervisors (Air Tactical Group Supervisors, Helicopter Coordinators, Air Tactical Supervisors), aerial firefighters (pilots), Helicopter Crew (Helitack to include Shorthaul and Rappel operations), and Smokejumpers, and may expand to other aviation operations areas to include non-fire all risk simulations as well as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Locations for Training Operations will Vary from place to place.
