NAVAIR intends to break the RFP into two sections: Part A and Part B with offerors being able to propose to Part A - Airframe Depot, Part B - Engine Depot, or both. However, a offeror's combined proposal will only be considered if that offeror also proposes separately to each Depot requirement. DISCLAIMER THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND DRAFT RFP IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
