This is the initial market research for the upcoming follow-on programs. As a result, no firm plan or strategy is in place at this time. The potential requirements covered by this RFI will include the following: a. AMCOM Aviation Field Maintenance (AFM) Contract: This contract will provide for field and sustainment maintenance for rotary wing Army aviation platforms in support of the mission area managed or supported by AMCOM. It is anticipated the contract will require the contractor to accomplish the following: maintenance of Army Aviation aircraft to potentially include RESET, or similar programs, in accordance with established Technical Bulletins and Directives, the installation of Modification Work Orders (MWOs), support to installation aviation activities, and support to Combat Aviation Brigades (CAB). Reference Attachment 0001 DRAFT AFM CONUS and Attachment 0002 AFM OCONUS PWSs that provide potential scope to be performed. b. Ft. Rucker Aviation Maintenance Services Contract: Contracted services will maintain and provide safe, functional helicopters to the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command's (TRADOC) flight school training program through the United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE) as well as to support the Air Force's 23rd Flight Training Squadron (FTS), the US Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL), the National Maintenance Program, and other minor requirements. Reference Attachment 0003 Army ACLC Draft PWS, Attachment 0004 Air Force DRAFT PWS for potential scope, and Attachment 0005 Draft Incentive Fee Criteria. Contract Background and Anticipated Period of Performance: It is anticipated that the AFM contract will take the form of either an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract or a base year contract with options. It is anticipated that the Ft. Rucker contract will consist of a base year and options. Successful offerors for both programs, AFM and Ft. Rucker, will be determined on a best value approach. It is anticipated that all contracts will include the minimum of a seven year period of performance. It is anticipated that both the AFM and Ft. Rucker efforts will include a hybrid contract type and potentially incentives. The hybrid contracts could include both fixed and cost type arrangements. The location of the effort to be performed by the AFM requirement will be both in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). It is contemplated that a regional approach will be utilized for the AFM effort. Each region will include maintenance sites that could easily change as the operational requirements evolve. The Ft. Rucker requirements will primarily take place at Ft. Rucker, Al. Both the AFM and Ft. Rucker requirements are considered services with the appropriate services laws and regulations being applicable. All contracts awarded will include the Ground and Flight Risk clause and will require a higher level of quality requirements to potentially include Aerospace Standard 9110 (current version). It is anticipated that North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 488190, Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, will apply. The current standard is $32.5M.
