- Description
- The Department of Interior (DOI), Interior Business Center (IBC), Acquisition Services Directorate (AQD), Herndon, VA in support of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Program Executive Office (PEO) for Integrated Warfare Systems (IWS), has issued full and open Request for Proposal (RFP) 140D0419R0007 for the procurement of commercial aviation support services using Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 12 - Acquisition of Commercial Items and (FAR) Part 15 - Contracting by Negotiation. The Government intends to award a single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with the issuance of Firm-Fixed-Unit-Price (FFUP) task orders. The period of performance is up to five (5) years and consists of a 12 month base period and four (4), 12 month options under NAICS 481219 - Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation. Background: NAVSEA PEO IWS has a need for contractor-operated and contractor-maintained jet aircraft and flight services to support the Test and Evaluation (T&E) of the Aegis Combat System and other integrated Electronic Warfare (EW) systems currently aboard US Navy ships, as well as other land-based systems. AEGIS is an integrated naval combat system that uses powerful computer and radar technology to track and guide weapon systems to destroy enemy targets. The contractor provided personnel and aircraft (outfitted with government furnished equipment/property) will fly predetermined testing scenarios around US Navy ships and/or land-based systems, so that radar and other warfare system instrumentation can be tested and calibrated. These scenarios will also act as training for the radar operators. These testing events involve the coordination of many military assets (i.e. ships, submarines, aircraft, drones, military personnel, and other support contractors), which equate to millions of dollars per day to conduct. Many commercial jet aircraft have the performance requirements to meet the Navy's needs; however, purchasing and modifying aircraft is an expensive proposition. Learjet models 35 and 36 are currently the only models of Learjet with the needed STCs that met the Navy's combat systems test needs for the attachment, carriage, and installation of the Navy's T&E Government Furnished Property (GFP). NAVAIR will be responsible under the Navy's Airworthiness Program to issue associated Interim Flight Clearances (IFC) in order for the GFP to be operated on the contracted commercial jet aircraft. The IFC process requires NAVAIR personnel to conduct extensive inspection of a vendor's facilities and review pertinent FAA airworthiness certificates and applicable STCs. In addition, aircraft shall meet the minimum aircraft requirements such as performance, payload, power plant(s), seating, speed/endurance, crew requirements outlined in the solicit action. While it's assumed that the contractor will purchase the majority of its fuel at military airfields, only fuels meeting the specifications of American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) D-1655 (Jet A, A-1, or B), Mil T-5624 (JP-4, JP-8, JP-5) shall be used. Aircraft will be required for the simulation of EW systems utilized by hostile aircraft. There will be four primary aircraft that shall be designated as Exclusive Use (EU) and will be utilized for an estimated 200 days within first twelve-month period of performance and potentially up to an estimated 800 combined flight hours in addition to the guaranteed EU availability. The contractor will occasionally be required to provide up to two On-Call (OC)/ Call-When -Needed (CWN) aircraft as well, that may be utilized for up to an estimated 100 combined flight hours. The primary locations where services are to be performed will be in California and Virginia; however, aircraft may be required to fly to various locations throughout the United States, its territories, and other countries, as needed. The contractor will be required to hold and keep current multiple aviation certificates required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOI OAS, Air Mobility Command (AMC), and Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). In addition, the contractor will be required to obtain security clearances for all facilities used, as well as crewmembers and support personnel engaged in operations under the resulting contract, as specified in DD Form 254 - Department of Defense (DOD) Contract Security Classification Specifications. Additional Information: Any future amendments to the RFP will appear at this FBO website. Inquiries/questions concerning this announcement may be e-mailed to IBC AQD.
