- Description
- NASA/DFRC plans to issue a Request for Offer (RFO) for the one-time performance of heavy maintenance on the NASA-Dryden Airborne Science DC-8 Aircraft. This DC-8, Tail No. N817NA, is a 72 series model powered by General Electric CFM-56-2 engines, currently operated by NASA-DFRC, and stationed at Edwards Air Force Base, CA. This aircraft is a unique national resource whose use for scientific research worldwide is scheduled several years in advance. The Government's schedule for this maintenance is very critical, and it is essential that the work be completed on time to avoid impacting scheduled scientific missions. The aircraft will be available for delivery by the Government to the contractor's facility on July 7, 2003. The aircraft must be completed and ready for retrieval by the Government not later than November 5, 2003. The maintenance shall consist of the major inspection process commonly termed a "D Check" by the commercial air carrier industry, Corrosion Prevention and Control Programs (1, 2, 3, and 6 year cycles), and what is commonly termed "over and above" inspections and repairs as necessary. Also included in this maintenance shall be the complete removal ("stripping") of all external paint and repainting of the aircraft to a NASA-specified paint scheme. This maintenance cycle shall NOT include any engine maintenance to be performed by the contractor. This contract shall include any and all labor and materials necessary to complete all inspections, repairs, stripping, cleaning, and painting, and return the aircraft to service in accordance with applicable FAA certification standards. A preproposal contractor site visit will be held as indicated below to allow for contractor review, inspection, and evaluation of the DC-8 aircraft condition and configuration. Contact Mr. Edmund Hamlin at (661) 276-3526 or Mr. Bill Condzella at (661) 276-2544 to schedule a date and time for the contractor site visit: Date: July 9 through July 23, 2002 Time: 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Location: Des Moines, Iowa Attendance at the preproposal contractor site visit is very highly recommended; however, attendance is neither required nor a prerequisite for proposal/bid submission. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 336411 and 1500 employees, respectively. The DPAS Rating for this procurement is DO-A1.
