Information included in this notice, including any tentative milestones, is preliminary in nature and subject to change. Actual requirements will be described in the solicitation document which will be posted to FedBizOpps. DEPARTMENT OF STATE UH-1 HELICOPTER PROGRAMMED DEPOT MAINTENANCE (PDM) IDIQ CONTRACT BACKGROUND The United States Department of State (DoS), Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Office of Aviation (INL/A) provides aviation support for, but not limited to, the eradication and interdiction of illicit drugs, training of Contractor and host nation personnel, embassy support, movement of personnel and equipment, reconnaissance, personnel recovery (PR), medical evacuation, security of personnel and equipment, and convoy escort. At times INL/A equipment, aircraft, and personnel operate from forward operating base locations under primitive conditions and at other times from international airports with the most advanced navigational aids. Aircraft utilized in support of DoS missions must have greater flight endurance; carrying capacity (both cargo and personnel); and range, take-off, climb, and turn performance at high elevations and density altitudes. Furthermore, the aircraft and crews are subject to being targeted by hostile fire. Aircraft subject to hostile fire will generally require aircrew and aircraft survivability systems to be installed such as, but not limited to, armor, the AN/AAR-47 missile warning system, and ALE-47 countermeasures dispensing system. Finally, aircraft and non-aircraft support systems such as, but not limited to, base operations, aviation ground support equipment, Air Traffic Control (ATC) capability, personnel, and personnel support systems are deployed and established at remote locations around the world to support DoS missions. The DoS operates approximately one-hundred twenty (120) UH-1 series aircraft in support of the aforementioned missions as part of its worldwide aircraft fleet. SCOPE INL/A requires, on a regularly scheduled calendar basis, a source to accomplish recurring Aircraft Condition Inspections (ACIs), aircraft modifications, corrosion identification, removal, treatment, and repair, component and accessory overhaul, and refurbishment of DoS UH-1 aircraft. The previously stated tasks will henceforth be referred to as Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM). A draft Statement of Work (SOW) is attached. OBJECTIVES As part of an overall PDM process, the DoS ACI and Critical Flight Safety Program's (CFSP) first objective is to critically evaluate all aircraft on a recurring scheduled basis to assure the responsible airworthiness authority (DoS) all owned and operated aircraft are operationally safe, airworthy, maintainable, reliable, and available for critical mission support. The second objective is to preserve the investment in these capital assets by restoring them to approved technical standards. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The US Department of State intends to award a single IDIQ contract with an ordering period of five (5) years and an IDIQ contract maximum of $111.5 million for the provision of the items and services previously described. Task and delivery orders awarded under the contract may be performed overseas or in the United States. This acquisition is set-aside exclusively for small business concerns in accordance with FAR 52.219-6 (Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside). Offers from other than small business concerns will not be considered for award. This acquisition will be conducted under NAICS code 336411. The corresponding small business size standard is 1,500 employees. Interested vendors should continue to monitor FedBizOpps for additional information. No further action is required from interested vendors at this time. The DoS intends to post a draft solicitation to FedBizOpps no later than May 27, 2016. Questions will not be answered at this time.
