- Description
- J85 Engine Repair Center Request for Information - 11 June 2017: Tinker Air Force Base is requesting additional information from industry for the J85 Intermediate Level Maintenance acquisition strategy. The Government is seeking more information in regards to the feasibility of the intended incentive strategy for the J85 Intermediate Level Maintenance Requirement. Specific questions are listed below. Please review these questions to provide written responses to Ms. Carrie Williams at carrie.williams.7@us.af.mil and Ms. Kristi Hanna at kristi.hanna@us.af.mil by 12:00pm CST on Friday, July 14, 2017. As more information is made available it will be posted as an update to this announcement. This announcement is not a contract, not a Request For Proposal, not a promise to contract, nor a commitment of any kind on the part of the Government. Performance Incentives The following Performance Incentives are being considered for this acquisition. The Government requests feedback responses to this information. Specific questions related to this information are listed with the RFI questions. 1. Incentive Option Years It is anticipated that this acquisition will be for a base period of 5 years with 2 incentive option years. Evaluation for these incentive options are anticipated to occur during the 3 rd and 4 th year of performance of the base period. To earn the incentive option years it is anticipated that the following performance must be met to earn the inventive option period. •· Contractor must meet or exceed all PWS metrics. Preliminary metrics include Turn-Around-Time (TAT), meeting CDRL requirements, and customer complaints. •· Contractor must receive a positive CPAR rating (Satisfactory or Higher). •· Contractor must submit cost savings initiative(s) that subsequently receives Government approval. An approved cost savings initiative(s) will result in: o 50/50 split of the cost savings o Any cost savings will be included in the FFP repair CLIN, as a downward adjustment only, in the next and any additional out-years. o Savings are to be defined as at least 3% of the of repair CLIN value per incentive option over the life of the engine repair contract. 2. Monetary Performance Incentive This is anticipated to be a separate performance incentive that will allow for the contractor to potentially earn a cash incentive starting at the end of the 3 rd year of performance. This performance incentive is primarily concerned with improving the overall J85 engine reliability. This performance incentive is anticipated to be evaluated based on the following: •· Increasing the Mean Time Between Removals (MTBR) o Increase MTBR by 5% in the 3 rd and 4 th year of performance o Increase MTBR by at least 3% in the 5 th and any earned option period(s) •· MTBR metric will be tracked for only the repairs performed by the contractor. To potentially receive the cash incentive, the MTBR must increase. •· Cash incentive will be calculated based on: o The average CLIN price for Jet Engine Intermediate Maintenance (JEIM) o A 50/50 split of price savings o The separate cash incentive can be earned at the end of each year of performance if the increase in MTBR is achieved. See example below: Example of Calculation for Monetary Price Incentive using MTBR metric. This example is for explanation purposes only - the prices and quantities are not necessarily representative of actual performance. Example of Total Earned Cash incentive Year 3: MTBR baseline: 300 repaired engines (this is a notional number) Assumption that 5% MTBR increase achieved: 315 repaired engines (at the end of Year 3 Evaluation) Formula: FH / ERRC MTBR= Removals Estimated Average CLIN price for JEIM: $38K Flying Hours = 120K (source - actuarial data) Baseline: 120K/300 = 400 Removals Quantity at end of 3 year evaluation: 120K/315 = 381 Removals 400-381=19 Fewer Removals 19*$38K=$722K Split 50/50 savings Contractor Cash Incentive earned year 3: $361K Material The USAF will direct the use of a DLA contract for J85 consumable parts and the use of Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) for J85 reparable parts. The Government is considering utilizing cost reimbursement/no fee CLINs for consumable material through DLA for this acquisition. The Government requests feedback responses to this information. Specific questions related to this information are listed with the RFI questions. RFI Questions Please provide a written response to Ms. Carrie Williams at carrie.williams.7@us.af.mil and Ms. Kristi Hanna at kristi.hanna@us.af.mil by 12:00pm CST on Friday, July 14, 2017. 1. Do you believe the planned incentive option (performance incentive #1) will motivate improved contractor performance? If not, please explain. 2. Do you believe requiring cost sharing to earn incentive option(s) is achievable? If so, is 3% per incentive option over the life of the contract achievable? If not, please explain and provide an alternative. If so, what type of activities would you anticipate to implement? 3. Do you believe the planned Mean Time between Failure (MTBR) performance incentive (incentive #2) will motivate improved contractor performance? If not, please explain. 4. Do you believe the MTBR incentive is achievable? If so, could there potentially be a higher percentage increase in the MTBR and what could that potentially be? If not, please explain and provide an alternative. 5. Do you have an adequate accounting system to handle cost reimbursement CLINs? If not, would this be able to be obtained prior to contract award or explain your companies accounting system process to handle cost reimbursement CLINs. 6. Will using a cost reimbursable CLIN for material impact your ability to earn incentive options and/or improve MTBR? 7. Do you believe using cost reimbursable materials will impact your decision to propose or not? 8. Are there any additional performance incentives that could potentially be achievable that the Government should consider? If so, please explain.
