- Description
- This Request for Information (RFI) is for rotary wing service within Afghanistan. There is no solicitation package available at this time. USTRANSCOM/TCAQ-R is seeking sources that may be able to provide rotary wing services capable of flying between 150 and 200 hours monthly. The Government anticipates the size of the aircraft needed to support 98% of missions will be flown with rotary wing aircraft similar to Mi-8MTV, Mi-17 or equivalent and the remaining 2% with rotary wing similar to a Mi-26 or equivalent. The Government anticipates the contractor positioning two to three helicopters to meet mission requirements. Although missions may involve destinations throughout Afghanistan, the primary focus areas will be Jalalabad, Salerno, Sharana, Naray, Bagram and their surrounding areas. Contractor must be DoD Approved and be able to transport both passengers and cargo. Cargo may consist of CLASS I (Food and Water), CLASS II (General Supplies), CLASS III (Fuel), CLASS IV (Construction Materials), CLASS V (Ammunition-small arms only), CLASS VI (AAFES supplies), CLASS VII (Major End Items), CLASS VIII (Medical Supplies), CLASS IX (Repair Parts), or CLASS X (non-military goods such as humanitarian assistance items). The cargo will be configured for loading inside the cabin of the aircraft or prepared for slingload delivery. The contractor must be prepared to accept cargo in either configuration; internal or slingload. All interested parties should respond with rotary wing type and capacity that is currently available that would justify the source's qualifications to perform this task. At this time, USTRANSCOM is NOT looking for proposals. NO SOLICITATION EXISTS AT THIS TIME. This RFI does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposals, nor a Request for Quotations, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue an order or otherwise pay for the information solicited. Responses to this RFI are due 18 May 07, 1600hrs (CST). Electronic copies can be submitted to Pamela.Hall@ustranscom.mil. If you submit proprietary data, please mark it clearly with the appropriate markings. Further action on this anticipated requirement will be determined following review of the responses to this RFI. All correspondence regarding this RFI should be addressed to Pamela Hall, Contracting Officer, USTRANSCOM/TCAQ-R, email Pamela.Hall@ustranscom.mil.
