- Description
- Solicitation N10PS30108 seeks fully Contractor furnished airplane flight services for one year (plus four options) to meet the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) needs supporting the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Three flights per month will be guaranteed although additional flights may be needed and the aircraft should be available for flights at any time of the year, subject to advanced notice. The FWS is seeking one or several Contractor operated and maintained aircraft with pilots needed for the transportation of Government personnel and/or cargo originating from Honolulu, HI. Existing aircraft support is being provided by a G-1 aircraft but additional payload is needed. Midway Atoll lies 1250 miles northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. A potential hazard that must be considered is the presence of nesting colonies of seabirds on the island. Approximately 3 million albatross may be present from November through July. Other birds such as bonin petrels, white tern, black noddies, frigates and boobies are also present in substantial numbers during much of the year. During the months of November through July most flights are at night to avoid bird strikes. At a minimum aircraft must have a standard airworthiness certificate, seating for 18 passengers, a range of at least 1300 nautical miles, payload of 4900 pounds (with fuel for specified range), cruising airspeed of 250 KTS, and be capable of operating from a 7,900 ft paved runway at sea level at ISA +15 degrees with payload and fuel. Freight may include food, diving gear, outboard motors, diesel engines, radio antennas, equipment parts, personal goods, mail, and maintenance equipment. Over night stays at Midway Atoll may be required. Aircraft and pilots must be certified and checkrided in IFR extended over water operations. Certification at least under 14 CFR, Chapter 135, Air Taxi Operators and Commercial Operators is required. Applicable NAICS code is 481211, Nonscheduled Charter Air Transportation. It is a requirement that the successful awardee be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). The solicitation will be posted here as well as http://amd.nbc.gov under "Current Solicitations" under Business Opportunities. The solicitation is unrestricted. The solicitation is anticipated to be released February 24, 2010 closing March 30, 2009. Interested parties capable of performing this requirement should wait to review the solicitation once posted. At that time if you have questions, call Matt DeLong at 208-433-5029 or send an e-mail to: Matt_DeLong@nbc.gov
