************* UPDATE due to ERRORED ENTRY *************************** CORRECTION: There was an error entered in SAM.gov during the uploading of Ammendment 3.

The Date Offers Due has been changed back to 15 December 2025 to reflect the date that initial proposals were due to the USG. The change in the date to February 26, 2026 was in error and is only applicable to the offerors who have been selected to progress to Phase III. The USG is not accepting additional Phase I submissions. ACC-RSA is proud to announce the release of the final Flight School Next Call For Solutions (C4S) under the Army Aviation Training CSO.
