J -- P-3 T/M/S PHASED DEPOT MAINTENANCE (PDM) POC Contact, Lori Redding, Phone (703)604-2000 The Naval Air Systems Command is seeking sources to bid on a full and open competition to perform P-3 T/M/S Phased Depot Maintenance (PDM). P-3 PDM consists of three phases, conducted at 48 month intervals. This RFP will cover all three phases of depot maintenance. During each phase a thorough inspection of selected aircraft structure, flight essential systems and flight critical components is accomplished, with repair as required. During each phase the aircraft is de-painted, inspected, all surface corrosion is removed, conversion coated, primed, a new topcoat is applied and all aircraft fuel leaks are corrected. It is anticipated that the request for proposal (RFP) will be a firm-fixed price delivery order type and will include a base year plus four options. The Navy anticipates contract award will be made in October 1997. The most likely throughput of aircraft will be 30 per year or 150 aircraft over the five year period. The contractor must have sufficient capacity to process a minimum of six and amaximum of 30 aircraft through PDM each fiscal year. Additionally, the contractor will be required to induct the first P-3 aircraft within 60 days of contract award. Phased Depot Maintenance is currently being performed by Lockheed Martin Aircraft Center in Greenville, South Carolina, and NADEP, Jacksonville, Florida. The Navy intends to release a draft RFP to industry for comment by 15 March 1997. A pre-solicitation conference will be held in Jacksonville, Florida, during the April timeframe. Interested prime contractors should contact Ms. Lori Redding, (703) 604-2000, extension 6136 to be added to the mailing list for this procurement. -- NAVAIR Synopsis No. 30045-97. (0064)
