- Description
- Engine Water Wash Sources Sought Synopsis This Sources Sought Synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation, nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the Government. Any resulting procurement action will be the subject of a separate, future announcement. The following information is provided for discussion purposes and any potential strategy for this acquisition may change prior to any solicitation release. Description of services The Air Force requires engine turbine water wash services at 34 CONUS bases and 2 OCONUS bases (i.e., Eielson AFB, AK and Hickam AFB, HI. Initially, the Air Force will focus wash service on F108 (C/KC-135), TF39 (C-5), and TF33 (B-52, some special C-135 variants) engines with expansion to other pylon-mounted engines (e.g. TF56). The annual wash rate is expected to be approximately 1,000 engines for all engines at the associated aircraft main operating base. An Engine Water Wash consists of a closed loop, on-wing engine water wash to adhere with environmental regulations at the aforementioned 36 USAF bases. The vendor will perform the wash at the CONUS USAF bases with minimal support from base resources (material and manpower). The wash system must be mobile to avoid aircraft movement and able to wash 4 engines within a 4 hour period. The wash is expected to reach the turbine area of the engine, demonstrate no adverse effects to an engine at start up speed, effectively clean the turbine area, leave no residual, and gather all residual debris from the wash. Government will provide access to the aircraft, prepare engine for wash and post wash requisites. USAF crews will open cowl doors, perform any aircraft mechanical preparation required for engine wash, motor engine for engine wash process, perform post-engine wash ground run, as required to dry engine, close cowl doors, and restore engine to operating condition per applicable aircraft procedures. The vendor will provide all manpower and equipment to accomplish an engine water wash. This is not a solicitation but a request for information/interest. All responsible sources interested in providing services for this requirement are requested to provide a written summary of information concerning their technical certifications, capabilities, capacity, and experience. Additionally, background information will include current services or contracts, client portfolio with telephone numbers, and the company's 2010 annual report. Sources responding to this synopsis must indicate, in writing, whether their business falls into one or more of these categories: large, small, disadvantaged, disabled, veteran-owned, or woman-owned business. This acquisition will fall under NAICS 336412 and its applicable size standard (1000 people). Responses would be limited to 25 pages or less. Any information submitted by respondents to this Sources Sought Synopsis is strictly voluntary. This Sources Sought Synopsis does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bids (IFB), nor does its issuance restrict the Government's ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this notice, nor pay for any information that is submitted by respondents to this RFI. All responses and questions should be forwarded to the attention of the Contracting Officer (Frederic A. Veal @ (405)734-6724, email frederic.veal@tinker.af.mil) or Diana Ashford @ (405) 734-6409, email diana.ashford@tinker.af.mil.
