- Description
- This synopsis provides for a non-personal services contract to augment the Government by providing CV-22 aircraft maintenance support. It is anticipated to be a Competitive 8(a) acquisition approved by SBA with Requirement Number 0491/12/200137. This acquisition is planned to consist of a base period of 12-months and 4 option periods. Additionally, it is anticipated there will be a few Optional CLINs that may or may not be executed pending Government need, approvals and/or funding. These options will be detailed in the solicitation. Estimated posting of the DRAFT Solicitation is approximately 7 November 2011 and it will have Solicitation number FA0021-12-R-0001. The estimated periods of performance are as follows: Base Period: 1 April 2011 - 31 March 2012 Option Period 1: 1 April 2012 - 31 March 2013 Option Period 2: 1 April 2013 - 31 March 2014 Option Period 3: 1 April 2014 - 31 March 2015 Option Period 4: 1 April 2015 - 31 March 2016 CV-22 Contractor Maintenance Support (CMS) services are required to support Hurlburt Field, Florida, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, Cannon AFB, New Mexico, and RAF Mildenhall, United Kingdom with potential for a future base in the PACOM. The CV-22 aircraft have the primary missions of combat and training missions driving both CONUS and O-CONUS support requirements. The CV-22 is a weapons system that currently has limited organic maintenance capability. Because of organic maintenance capability, complexity of the aircraft, and programmed growth, the maintenance concept is a combined effort of active-duty Air Force and Contractor Maintenance Support (CMS) technicians. Both active-duty Air Force and CMS technicians are responsible for Organizational level (O-level) and Intermediate level (I-level) maintenance. The CV-22 aircraft located at Hurlburt Field, FL, Cannon AFB, NM, and RAF Mildenhall, UK, and potential for a future base in the PACOM AOR are operational assets that will be deployed overseas to conduct and support AFSOC operations. CMS personnel assigned at those locations will be required to deploy or perform temporary duty world-wide in support of CV-22 mission requirements. The CMS service provider shall provide V-22 experienced maintenance production supervision and personnel to execute all Organizational and applicable Intermediate (O and I)-level maintenance operations. The requirement is a mix of Mechanical Specialty Maintainers and Electrical/Avionics Specialty Maintainers in sufficient numbers in the applicable functional areas to manage, supervise, and perform all tasks required by the PWS. The CV-22 program will continue to mature from a current 20 aircraft to an end-state of 50 aircraft through 2016. Final aircraft basing is not yet determined. The increase in aircraft may drive a requirement for additional growth in CMS personnel to conduct aircraft maintenance and on-the-job training at each location. The specific personnel requirements include: Program Manager (PM): The PM is required to have a minimum of 18 years experience in aircraft maintenance and working knowledge of flightline operations/supervision. Although not required, the Government desires an Airframe and Power Plant certification for this position as well as V-22 specific experience. This position will be located at Hurlburt Field, FL. Site POC: The POC at each location is required to have 15 years experience in aircraft maintenance and flightline operations/supervision. The Government desires this position to have three (3) years of V-22 experience, however, one year of documented recent (within the past three years) experience on the V-22 is required. The POCs shall be fully qualified in their primary specialty Mechanical (APG) and/or Electrical/Avionics Specialty in order to be available to perform aircraft maintenance daily. Although not required, the Government highly desires an Airframe and Power Plant certification for this position. Mechanical Specialty Maintainer: Personnel must have a minimum of 7 years continuous aircraft maintenance background/experience in an Aircraft Mechanical specialty on any fixed-wing or rotary aircraft. Furthermore, it is the Government's desire to attain personnel with three (3) years of V-22 experience, however, one year of documented recent (within the past three years) experience on the V-22 is required. Overall intent of the Mechanical Specialty Maintainer is to have the primary background/qualifications equivalent to the Air Force "APG" mechanic with secondary skill sets of Engines, Hydraulics, and Fuels specialties. This requires the skill set of maintaining and managing all aspects of aircraft maintenance. The Contractor shall submit Mechanical candidates who possess the knowledge, experience and equivalent certifications of a 7-level Air Force APG mechanic and are at least 80 percent qualified/proficient on the Mechanical Specialty tasks. Candidates/employees shall become fully qualified in the secondary skill sets within a reasonable and realistic period. Electrical/Avionics Specialty Maintainer: Personnel must have a minimum of 7 years continuous aircraft maintenance background/experience in an Aircraft Electrical/Avionics specialty on any fixed-wing or rotary aircraft. Furthermore, it is the Government's desire to attain personnel with three (3) years of V-22 experience, however, one year of documented recent (within the past three years) experience on the V-22 is required. Overall intent of the Electrical/Avionics Specialty Maintainer is to have the primary background/qualifications equivalent to either of the aircraft Electrical/Environmental or Aircraft Avionics specialties, but ultimately shall be qualified in both skill sets identified. The Contractor shall submit candidates who possess the knowledge, experience and equivalent certifications of a 7-level Air Force Electrical/Avionics Technician and are at least 80 percent qualified/proficient on either the Electrical/Environmental or Avionics Specialty tasks. Candidates/employees shall become fully qualified in the secondary skill sets within a reasonable and realistic period
