Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), MacDill AFB, Florida, intends to contract with Keystone Engine Services (KES) West Chester, PA for the overhaul/repair of a Rolls Royce/Allison 250-C20B engine, serial number CAE-831884. During a program mission off the Coast of Mexico it was found that the engine of the Hughes 369D (MD500) aircraft N59RF did not meet power requirements during ground runs. When AOC solicited for the sources that could provide a loaned engine on short notice, KES was the only vendor to respond. Under a separate purchase order, KES went to Mexico and replaced the broken engine with a leased unit. Keystone returned the broken engine to their Pennsylvania facility where a teardown inspection was performed. It revealed the following: the #1 nozzle has a cracked vane segment and needs to be replaced; the 1st stage turbine wheel is severely sulfidated and needs replacement; the 2nd stage turbine wheel seal is worn beyond manufacturer's limits; the compressor scroll needs to be recoated; the compressor mount pad is misaligned and might need replacement; and the, compressor rear support is broken and needs replacement. The engine is currently disassembled at the KES. The Contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, and supervision to return the engine to service. Contractor shall reassemble the engine following manufacturer's overhaul manual and applicable repair station procedures. The contractor must meet the minimum qualifications: (1) Must have successfully maintained or repaired the same model engine within the past six months, (2) must submit a copy of a current FAA Repair Station Certificate for this make and model of engine, and (3) must submit Proof of Insurance documentation. In evaluating offers, the Government will add to each offer additional estimated costs associated with packing the disassembled engine for shipment to another facility; the cost of shipment; and the cost of any additional inspection required to prepare an accurate cost estimate. Also, the Government will add to the delivery time of each offer an estimate of the additional days required to pack, transport, and reinspect prior to submission of a firm offer. This is a 100% small business set-aside. NAICS code 811310 applies. This simplified acquisition is under the authority of FAR Part 13. If no qualified responses are received, the Government intends to contract with KES for the service required. Interested parties shall submit, in writing, their name, address, point of contact, telephone number, and point of contact for a business or other government agency for which it has previously provided the service. Interested parties shall also submit a brief capability statement indicating their capability to perform this type of service. This information shall be submitted to the address stated or faxed to 816-426-7530, Attn: Sharon Walker. Interested parties who fail to provide the information requested will be considered not responsive to this announcement and will not be considered further. All inquiries must be received no later than 15 calendar days from date of publication of this announcement.
