- Description
- Request for Information (RFI) Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Helicopter (SUPT-H) Support for United States Air Force (USAF) This is an RFI in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation, 52.215-3 - Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes (Oct 1997). Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Only United States companies will be considered for contract award. (See attachment for complete RFI) Introduction: 1. This RFI includes a description of the SUPT-H requirement and a Contractor Capability Survey, which allows you to provide your company's capability. 2. If, after reviewing these documents, you desire to participate in the market research, you should provide documentation that supports your company's capability in meeting these requirements. Failure to provide documentation may result in the Government being unable to adequately assess your capabilities. If you lack sufficient experience in a particular area, please provide details explaining how you would overcome the lack of experience/capabilities in order to perform that portion of the requirement (i.e., teaming, subcontracting, etc.) 3. Marketing materials are considered an insufficient response to this RFI. Please limit responses to no more than 15 pages, and identify a representative to support further Government inquiries and requests for clarification of the information provided, if needed. Respondents should indicate which portions of their responses are proprietary and should mark them accordingly. 4. Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this Market Research. Joint ventures or teaming arrangements are encouraged. 5. The Government anticipates a Firm-Fixed-Price contract could come from these efforts. For purposes of this RFI, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 611512, Flight Training, and the small business size standard is $27.5 Million in annual gross receipts. Purpose: 1. We are conducting market research to determine: a. What commercial sources are capable of conducting the full range of operations associated with SUPT-H (flying operations, academics, aircraft maintenance, billeting, dining, security, etc.)? b. Potential training locations. c. What efficiencies/cost savings can be gained through different approaches to all aspects of the SUPT-H requirements? d. A ROM estimate pertaining to the cost and level of effort of this service. Description: SUPT-H is the third step in the Air Force Undergraduate Flying Training (UFT) process for those students destined for USAF helicopters or tiltrotor aircraft. Students who attend SUPT-H will have completed the first two steps of the UFT process which is Initial Flight Training (IFT) and UPT-H (Contract Fixed Wing)(Ref: Request for Information (RFI) FA3002-17-RFI-UHT (UPT-H)). The training service will need to provide classroom, aircraft and simulator events that support the instruction of students to safely aviate, navigate, communicate, manage aircraft systems, and practice sound crew 2 resource management, in both visual and instrument conditions within the US National Airspace System (NAS). The service will require providing all personnel, aircraft, aircraft maintenance, facilities, transportation to and from the airport for students, food, lodging, and security for full operations. The student produced by this service will continue on to Advanced Rotary Wing training (CV-22, HH-60, UH-1). Student Load: The student load may vary from 70 to 120 per year with varying class sizes. It is the Government's intention to identify sources that can meet the above criteria. All interested business concerns shall indicate interest in responding to this RFI by providing a completed Contractor Capability Survey (below) to 338 SCONS, Mr. Stephen Pritchett, stephen.pritchett@us.af.mil NLT 4:00 pm CST 10 Jul 17. Any questions about this RFI need to be submitted NLT 10 days prior to the RFI response due date. NOTE: This RFI is for research purposes only, no decision to pursue an acquisition or identification of a contracting organization to be responsible for an acquisition has been made. This information is for market research only. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), solicitation or an indication that the Government will contract for this requirement. The Government will not pay for information received in response to this RFI and is in no way obligated by the information received.
