Document Type: Special Notice POC: Rickey T. Mabry Classification Code: North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 488190. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION NOTICE. This synopsis is issued for information and planning purposes only. The Air Force will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this source sought notice. The Headquarters Air Mobility Command (HQ AMC) has reached an initial performance decision for the Command-wide Engine Management function. Competition between the Agency Cost Estimate (ACE) and the cost of private sector performance determined contract performance to be the most efficient and cost effective method of operation. On 23 April 07, HQ USAF/A1MS approved AMC?s request to conduct a Streamlined Competition. In accordance with Air Force policy, the study must reach a performance decision, to retain in-house or convert to contract, within 90 days from the public announcement date of 02 May 07. During this 90-day period the Government conducted market research to develop an estimated contract price. This estimated contract price was then compared to the ACE in order to determine the most cost efficient method of operation. This comparison deemed contractor performance more cost efficient. However, before a contract can be awarded, the Government must verify via typical acquisition procedures that contractor costs are indeed cheaper than the Government?s ACE. If the contract price is higher, the solicitation will be cancelled and the authorizations converted to civilian for Most Efficient Organization (MEO) performance. The Air Force is also conducting market research to determine capability and interest of commercial firms in performing the Engine Management function at Dover AFB, DE; Dyess AFB, TX; Fairchild AFB, WA; Grand Forks AFB, ND; MacDill AFB, FL; McConnell AFB, KS; Pope AFB, NC; and Travis AFB, CA. The following are basic performance requirements for the Engine Management function: A. Monitors removal, repair and/or replacement on assigned engines, components, and support equipment. B. Track specific maintenance actions on assigned engines, components, or support equipment. C.

(1) conduct quarterly physical inventory of assigned engines, installed assets, and support equipment; (2) coordinate transportation requests of serviceable and unserviceable engines through the Traffic Management Office (TMO); and (3) coordinate preparation of serviceable and unserviceable assigned engines for shipment and receipt. E. Deployment Support ? (1) develop local engine tracking procedures and documentation methods to be used at deployed locations; (2) ensure deployed engine monitors (Government personnel) are identified and receive training to perform duties while deployed; and (3) feed engine management data from deployed location into the MIS/CEMS Area of Responsibility (AOR). F. Develop and implement EM operational procedures. G. Attend EM related meetings ? (1) attend the daily production meeting and coordinate on engine and component maintenance; and (2) attend weekly squadron staff meeting. H.
