- Description
- LC-130 Ski Program reparable assets 1. NOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. 1.1 The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 336411which has a corresponding Size standard of 1,500 employees if applicable. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. Additionally, please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers for the past three years. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. 2. Program Details: This is a requirement to award a new non-commercial requirements repair contract for the repair of the LC-130 Ski and associated reparable assets listed on Attachment 1. These assets are used in support of the LC-130 Ski program, which provide mission critical transport of United States Antarctic Program (USAP) personnel, grantees, and cargo airlift to and from Antarctica as well as within Antarctica. The LC-130 Ski is unique from the C-130 cargo plane in that it features a ski-equipped landing gear enabling operation on snow and ice. The LC-130 is the only military aircraft that can operate on un-groomed runways in Antarctica. Repair under this contract will follow the processes and procedures outlined in the government technical order(s) and government approved, contractor owned Technical Orders/Drawings. The Contractor's Maintenance Repair facility shall be located within 2,300 nautical mile (NM) radius of McMurdo Station, Antarctica to provide Unscheduled Depot Level Maintenance (UDLM) capability. This range is based on fuel consumption per hour for the flight considering potential weather conditions per the C-130(L) H-1 Flight Manual. This range will assure a one flight single-ship ferry to the in-theater MRO facility which will reduce flight crew operational risk thus improving safety in this austere environment. The one flight also reduces the amount of time aircraft and aircrews are out of the area of responsibility (AOR). 3.
