- Description
- Contractors provide air tanker aircraft to the USDA Forest Service (FS) that are fully operational and drop approved fire suppressant/retardant material on forest and range fires over all types of terrain. These aircraft are operated continuously at low levels (typically 150 feet AGL) in steep mountainous terrain, and are subjected to highly turbulent environments and increased accelerations relative to the role for which the aircraft were designed. P2V-5?s and ?7?s manufactured by Lockhead have been utilized in the air tanker fleet for many years, and there is a need to assess those air tanker?s fatigue and damage tolerance. Therefore, the USDA Forest Service intends to acquire on a sole-source basis an evaluation of the structural fatigue and damage tolerance for the P2V-5/-7 originally configured aircraft from Avenger Aircraft and Services, 330 E. Coffee Street, Suite 5027, Greenville, South Carolina 29601. Any offeror interested in submitting a technical proposal in response to this notice is invited to do so. Proposals shall provide a complete explanation of how they propose to evaluate the structural fatigue and damage tolerance of the original configured P2V-5/7 aircraft, their experience and past performance history in performing this type of work, and their ability to interface with Lockhead to obtain necessary information regarding the original configured aircraft. Please note that proposals received as a result of this notice will be considered only for the purpose of determining whether or not it is possible to obtain competition.
