Solicitations are not currently available. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the United States Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary; the United States Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the United States Government. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on https://sam.gov/. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement. 1.0 RFI Overview: The United States Government (USG) Army Contracting Command -Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) is conducting market research to determine interest and availability of potential sources to provide non-recurring engineering in support of Modification Work Orders (MWOs) associated with Army Aviation modifications, the application of these modifications to the fleet, and the logistics support activities associated with supporting the Aviation and Missile Command's (AMCOM) Logistics Support Facility Management Activity (LSFMA). The LSFMA is a Government office that provides contractual support to Army Aviation programs and activities for non-recurring and recurring modification efforts on Aviation platforms and support equipment. The USG seeks to identify potential sources in the open market that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements necessary to support the Logistic Support Facility 6 (LSF6) requirement. 2.0 Description: 2.1 Mission: The mission of the LSFMA is to establish a supply requirement wherein the contractors provide rapid responses to aviation systems owned or supported by the Program Executive Office (PEO) Aviation, Army Materiel Command (AMC), and AMCOM.

It includes the non-recurring engineering in support of MWOs associated with Army Aviation modifications, the application of these modifications to the fleet, and the logistics support activities associated with supporting aviation customers. 2.2 Anticipated Period of Performance: It is anticipated that the LSF6 requirement will be competed as a full and open competition and awarded as a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (MAIDIQ) Contract with an anticipated 8-year ordering period. The MAIDIQ contract will bind the successful contractors to labor rates and other factors for pricing individual orders and modifications to orders. Individual orders under the multiple award concept will be competed amongst the MAIDIQ Awardees. Orders may be issued as either Fixed Price or Cost Reimbursable with possible performance incentives. 2.3 Anticipated Primary Place of Performance:� The anticipated primary place of performance is Huntsville, Alabama, and temporary duty locations as necessary by specific requirements.
