J -- CONTRACTOR LOGISTICS SERVICES FOR THE T-1A AIRCRAFT SOL n/a POC Amy L. Kruger, (937) 255-8630, ext 235/Contracting Officer, Thomas L. Dapore, ext 236 Potential Sources Sought. This is not an RFP. Potential sources sought: ASC/YTZ is conducting a market survey for Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for the T-1A Aircraft. We anticipate a 10-year Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with annual options and Economic Price Adjustments (EPA) after the fifth year. We also anticipate RFP release on or about 30 November 1998 and contract award on or about 1 July 1999. CLS activities will transition from the incumbent contractor to the new contractor by October 1999. There are 180 T-1A aircraft. The T-1A is a twin-engine Raytheon Beechjet 400T business jet modified for training military student pilots for subsequent assignments to transport and tanker aircraft. Aircraft are presently stationed at four main operating bases (MOB): Columbus AFB, Mississippi; Randolph AFB, Texas; Laughlin AFB, Texas; and Vance AFB, Oklahoma. The current CLS contract includes contractor field modification teams, component overhaul, logistics supply/support and engine overhauls. Air Education and Training Command will perform organizational maintenance. The government has procured some repairable spares to foster competition in this recompetition. These spares will transition from the incumbent contractor to the new CLS contractor. At a minimum, the CLS contractor will need associate contractor agreements with the aircraft sustaining engineering contractor (Raytheon Aircraft Company) and major subsystem contractors for avionics, engines, etc. An Ombudsman has been established for this acquisition. The only purpose of the Ombudsman is to receive and communicate serious concerns from potential offerors when an offeror prefers not to use established channels to communicate his/her concern during the proposal development phase of this acquisition.
