UPDATE, 3 NOV 04: The T-6 COMBS Services acquisition webpage has been updated to include a Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP). Please review the document in its entirety and submit comments and/or questions to the Contract Specialist cited therein no later than close of business 19 Nov 2004. Comments may be submitted electronically. If mailed, they must be postmarked by close of business 19 Nov 2004. Please note that there has been one slight update to the Government requirement. In addition to the previously identified locations requiring COMBS Services support, the Government has updated the DRFP to now also include T-6 Modification Line or any other depot level repair location as part of the requirement. The T-6 Modification Line is currently located at the Raytheon Aircraft e the following week. As a result, some e-mail was lost. If you sent an e-mail responding to the draft RFP during that time, it may not have been received. If an e-mail was sent and you did not receive any response from our office advising receipt of the e-mail, please resubmit. We apologize for any inconvenience. UPDATE, 4 NOV 04: The files posted 3 Nov 04 for Attachment 2 (MESL) and Attachment 3 (MESM)were incorrect as the titles had been erroneously switched for the files. These files have been deleted and the correct files have been reposted with a 4 Nov 04 date. UPDATE, 3 NOV 04: The T-6 COMBS Services acquisition webpage has been updated to include a Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP). Please review the document in its entirety and submit comments and/or questions to the Contract Specialist cited therein no later than close of business 19 Nov 2004. Comments may be submitted electronically. If mailed, they must be postmarked by close of business 19 Nov 2004. Please note that there has been one slight update to the Government requirement. In addition to the previously identified locations requiring COMBS Services support, the Government has updated the DRFP to now also include T-6 Modification Line or any other depot level repair location as part of the requirement. The T-6 Modification Line is currently located at the Raytheon Aircraft Facility in Wichita, KS. The requirement involves providing safety of flight parts support for aircraft on the mod line that have component failure unrelated to work performed at that location. UPDATE, 1 OCT 04: Previously, it was adviced that ORCA would become mandatory on 1 Oct 04. However, the FAR final rule has not been published and no release date has been given. If ORCA becomes effective after the RFP is on the street, the solicitation would be amended to add the ORCA requirement. UPDATE, 30 SEP 04: Three attachments have been posted below. These are: The Government briefing from the Industry Meetings held 23 Aug - 15 Sep 04, questions and answers (with Government comments)resulting from the meetings, and an updated acquistion schedule (Attachment 2). UPDATE, 1 SEP 04: In the near future there will be a change to the FAR to implement the On-Line Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA). The "Open FAR Cases" report shows that the FAR final rule is being reviewed byOMB, and after that review is complete the final rule will be issued. ORCA will become mandatory on 1 OCT 2004. ORCA will be a web-based system that centralizes and standardizes the collection of FAR level certs and reps on-line. Potential offerors/ bidders will need to complete certs and reps online at least annually. Contractors who already are registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) can get a head start by going to http://www.bpn.gov/orca to activate their ORCA profiles. Any information specific to the JPATS COMBS Services RFP above and beyond what ORCA entails will be included in the RFP. NOTE: A NEW ATTACHMENT HAS BEEN ADDED AT THE END OF THIS SYNOPSIS. THIS IS AN INVITATION FOR INDUSTRY TO MEET WITH THE GOVERNMENT. The Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) Aircraft Program, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH is conducting an additional market survey for the follow-on Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) of the T-6A Texan II aircraft. We anticipate at most a 10-year (9 month basic and 9 annual ordering periods) Firm-Fixed Price/Time and Materials, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity IDIQ) contract with contract award in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 15 no later than 30 Sep 2005. NOTE: THIS MARKET SURVEY SUPERCEDES PIXS SYNOPSIS 03R0009W (SOLICITATION #F33657-03-R-0009), WHICH WAS PUBLISHED ON 28 Mar 03. OUR ORIGINAL REQUIREMENT HAS CHANGES; WE WILL BE ACQUIRING CONTRACTOR OPERATED MANAGED BASE SUPPLY (COMBS) ONLY. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE SERVICE WILL NO LONGER BE INCLUDED ON THIS ACTION. T-6A Background The T-6A is a derivative of the Swiss Pilatus PC-9 MK II, which uses Non-Developmental Items (NDI) or derivatives of commercially available items to meet most system requirements. The T-6A was missionized by Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC), Wichita, Kansas to replace the United States Air Force (USAF) T-37B and the United States Navy (USN) T-34C primary training aircraft. Raytheon owns the data rights to the T-6A design and all peculiar support equipment. The T-6A is a low wing, high performance, pressurized, turboprop aerobatic trainer. The T-6A will provide entry-level students with the skills necessary for contact/familiarization, instruments, formation, and navigation during both day and night conditions. T-6A training will lead to a level of proficiency that permits transition into one of the USAF or USN advanced pilot training tracks. Current Environment There are presently 143 T-6As stationed at four main operating bases (MOB): Randolph AFB, Texas; Moody AFB, Georgia; Laughlin AFB, Texas; and Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, Florida. At the end of this 10-year CLS follow-on support contract (through FY 2015), there will be a total of 782 aircraft in the field stationed at these four MOBs and these additional bases: Sheppard AFB, Texas; Vance AFB, Oklahoma; and Columbus AFB, Mississippi; NAS Whiting, Florida; and NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. Currently, approximately 18% of the fleet has been delivered and the production line is scheduled to continue through FY 2015 with the production of 40-70 aircraft per year. In addition, the USAF anticipates approximately 30 Class I Engineering Change Proposals through FY 2012 that will involve (but are not limited to) both the airframe structural components (e.g., landing gear) and avionics subsystems. Attached is a list of some of the tasks in the execution or planning stages that will affect the upcoming CLS requirement. At this time, Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC) provides both the T-6A production and CLS COMBS functions for this program. Presently, there are 4,000 line items that need to be managed; this figure may change as engineering changes are accomplished to the aircraft. If the awardee of this contract is other than the incumbent, the Government would require the establishment of an Associate Contractor Agreement (ACA) with the aircraft manufacture/ sustaining engineering contractor (Raytheon Aircraft Company, Wichita KS) and major subsystem contractors for avionics, engines, etc. Approximately 60% of the dollar value of spare parts is controlled by RAC proprietary drawings and designs which only specific suppliers are licensed to manufacturer. In addition, all aircraft parts are required to be manufactured and repaired under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified processes to maintain airworthiness certification for military use. Follow-On Contract Description The CLS follow-on contract will procure COMBS support in accordance with FAR 15 for the T-6A aircraft at 11 Air Force and Navy sites. The contractor shall establish, operate and manage a COMBS at each operating base providing a range and depth (contractor determined) of spare parts/bench stock including parts for off-equipment/I-Level backshops, spare engines, engine Quick Engine Change (QEC) kits, engine modular components, repair parts, peculiar (special) hand tools, support equipment (SE) and expendables (including aircraft and SE bench stock) necessary to support the assigned JPATS aircraft at the specified utilization rate. The contractor will ensure that all COMBS components are FAA certified in accordance with FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) Part 23. The contractor shall ensure that all spare parts are configured, painted and balanced (if required) for immediate installation on JPATS aircraft in accordance with the approved government technical data. The contractor shall ensure that all items with shelf-life restrictiaccordance with recent changes to the Air Force Materiel Command Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFMCFARS), the position of the ASC Ombudsman has been terminated. If any offeror or potential offeror has any questions or concerns about this particular acquisition please direct all comments to Contracting Officer Trinidad Rendon (937) 904- 4286.
