- The intent of this solicitation and any resultant Call When Needed (CWN) Basic Ordering Agreement(s) (BOA) is to obtain Large Airtankers services for wildland firefighting on a nationwide basis. The Government intends to have BOA(s) with multiple vendors for Large Airtanker (LAT) services. The placement of any orders is not guaranteed. The effective period of the resultant agreement(s) will be for five years from date of award. This procurement will be 100% set aside for small business concerns. The Government anticipates making multiple awards to all vendors with technically acceptable proposals that are determined to be reasonably priced. The Forest Service intends to use these LAT services in delivering large volumes of retardant to support actions on emerging wildland fires in the extended attack phase and for Large Fire Support. These LATs will be required to have a minimum tank capacity of 2,000 gallons that will deliver long term retardant to active wildland fires. Offered Aircraft Requirements are as follows: The payload weight is based on an average 9 pounds of mixed retardant per gallon. The minimum acceptable volume for this solicitation is 2,000 gallons (dispensable) and 18,000 pound payload capability of mixed retardant at Sea Level and ISA plus 15 degrees Fahrenheit. The airtanker will be expected to carry its maximum mixed retardant payload from all assigned work locations (AWLs). For Questions concerning this announcement, contact: MELINDA G.
