Training services under the FTSS award include contractor operations and maintenance services (of simulators and training devices); contract instructional services (simulator and academic instruction for pilots and other aircrew); training device relocation; training device modifications; training systems management; technical data verification; in-service engineering office support; spares/product support; and other related trainer support services.

With a contracting office located in Orlando, Florida, the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division will begin issuing task order solicitations in the summer of 2016. Work under the FTSS IV contract will be performed at U.S. Navy and Marine Corps installations located inside and outside the U.S. with anticipated completion date of July 2021.
