- Description
- U S Forest Service F-14 Parachutes The U.S. Forest Service smokejumper program is in need of procuring FS-14 main parachute canopies over the next four years. The Forest Service intends to award a Requirements contract for the parachute canopies. This action is needed to maintain adequate parachute inventories as older FS-14 parachutes begin to approach their 12 year shelf life or 100 jump service life. The FS-14 comes in 3 sizes, Small (28 foot nominal diameter, 620 square feet); Medium (30 foot nominal diameter, 710 square feet); and Large (32 foot nominal diameter, 805 square feet). The specific number of the 3 sizes will vary from year to year depending on the needs of the individual smokejumper bases. The FS-14 parachutes will be built according to Forest Service drawing MTDC-922, Parachute Assembly, FS-14, 5% Extended Skirt, Polyconical. Copies of these drawings will be made available to vendors at the time of solicitation. Due to proprietary considerations, patterns required to manufacture the FS-14 will only be given to the successful bidder. These patterns will be returned to the Forest Service at the end of the contract. The Forest Service will retain all rights in data and all other intellectual data rights in this drawing. The maximum number of FS-14 parachutes that will be procured during any contract period will be 55 parachutes. The total number, as well as the number of each of the three sizes will vary from year to year depending on the inventory needs of the 7 individual Forest Service smokejumper bases. A "contract period" means the base year or any option year. The delivery time for each year is not to exceed 180 calendar days from the time of award for all quantities. Delivery of finished parachutes will be made FOB Destination (unless otherwise negotiated) to one of the following seven smokejumper bases.
