- Description
- Solicitation D11PS30218 seeks helicopter flight services for one year consisting of a Bell 205++, Bell 214 or similar helicopter which meets the solicitation minimum aircraft requirements and which is fully Contractor operated and maintained. The aircraft will be used to support the Bureau of Land Management, fire management programs. The helicopter will be based at Apple Valley, CA but may also be used nationally as may be determined by dispatch entities to support and limit wildland fire emergencies. The exclusive use period, subject to change as permitted in the solicitation, is May 20, 2011 through September 16, 2011 (120 days). The contract includes government unilateral options of renewal for an additional four years as well as options for extension of the exclusive use period. Potential duration of the contract could be five years. The Contractor shall possess a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 135, 133, and 137. The anticipated issue date of the solicitation is February 16, 2011 with a projected closing date of March 8, 2011. It is a requirement that the successful awardee be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). The solicitation will also be available at www.amd.nbc.gov under "Current Solicitations" under Business Opportunities. Due to a possible lack of resources from small business concerns (1500 or fewer employees), this requirement is being solicited from both small and large business concerns using the following cascading set-aside award terms. 1 All potential offerors (small and large) may submit proposals for the requirement as specified in this solicitation. However award consideration will be made as follows: a) First: In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 19.502-2(b) any award under this solicitation will be made on a competitive basis to eligible small business concerns (1500 or fewer employees), provided that a minimum of two (2) competitive offers are received from eligible and responsible small business concerns at fair market prices. To determine fair market prices, the Government will consider the pricing from the eligible offers of the small business concerns only, the Government estimate and the historic pricing for this specific requirement with consideration for inflation of past pricing. In the event that sufficient small business offers are received, award will be made from those small business sources and large business offers will be eliminated from further consideration for award.b) Second: If a minimum of two (2) competitive offers from eligible and responsible small business concerns at fair market prices are not received, any award under this solicitation will be made on the basis of full and open competition on an unrestricted basis from among all eligible and responsible business concerns (small and/or large) submitting offers. To determine fair market prices, the Government will consider the pricing of all eligible offers (small and large), the Government estimate, and the historic pricing for this specific requirement with consideration for inflation of past pricing. This solicitation incorporates by reference FAR 52.219-6, Notice of Small Business Set-Aside. However, because this is a cascading set-aside, to the extent that FAR 52.219-6 states that it limits competition to small businesses, that limitation applies to only the first tier of the award consideration above.
