- Description
- This is modification 5 to the synopsis entitled NASA Aircraft Fleet (NAF) Heavy Maintenance and Engineering Contract (NNJ06123069R) which was posted on June 13, 2006. You are notified that the additional following questions (10 thru 26) received by NASA/JSC in response to this synopsis have been answered. Please review the attached questions and answers below: Question 10. What will the maintenance plan be for the aircraft? Will NASA maintain the maintenance plan or will it be the contractor?s responsibility to determine the maintenance and schedule requirements for each aircraft? What is the current forecast for maintenance of the aircraft? Answer 10. NASA aircraft follow the typical OEM maintenance plan. NASA will provide a specific maintenance plan and schedule requirements for each aircraft type by means of a task order. Question 11. Will the contractor get all of the maintenance records for the aircraft as GFE? Answer 11. NASA will provide specific aircraft type maintenance records as required per task order. Question 12. How does NASA envision transitioning aircraft to a new contractor if it is undergoing maintenance at the time of contract award? Answer 12. Each task order will define the specific transition plans, if required. Question 13. Will there be small business requirements? Answer 13. Yes, a small business plan is required. Further details on the small business requirements will be available in the solicitation. Question 14. Will there be an industry day? Answer 14. No. NASA does not intend to host an industry day. Question 15. The draft SOW references documentation requirements IAW DRD-01, DRD-02, etc. What are these directives? Will the contractor be provided this information? Answer 15. The DRD?s are Data Requirement Deliverables whereby the Government is requiring delivery of data. The solicitation will provide all of the Data requirement Deliverables Yes, the contractor will be provided with applicable information. Question 16. Is it expected for the contractor to have OEM maintenance manuals or will NASA provide access to these manuals? Answer 16. The contractor is required to have access to the OEM maintenance manuals. Question 17. Is it expected for the contractor to provide on-aircraft maintenance for engines or full overhaul support? Please define engine support requirements. Answer 17.
