All information that is received in response to this RFI that is marked proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses to this RFI will not be returned. Information provided in response to this RFI will be used to assess tradeoffs and alternatives available for determining how to proceed in the acquisition process. Part I. Requirements Description NAVAIR (PMA-257) has conducted a series of meetings to investigate options to relocate Harrier tooling currently stored in the UK (Longtown) to another facility in the UK for further use by UK vendors. This RFI is being released for the purpose of determining Industry's interest in supporting a potential 5 year FFP contract that the U.S. government funds based on total square footage occupied. AV-8B/F402 Background and Program Scope The T/AV-8B aircraft provides support to the Marine Air Ground Task Force to attack and destroy surface and air targets. The aircraft's capabilities provide a responsive and flexible Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing (VSTOL) light-attack aircraft that can operate from both air-capable ships and austere sites ashore in support of Marine Corps and joint warfighting operations. The T/AV-8B is scheduled to remain in service until 2030. In order to sustain this platform and keep it operationally relevant, the program continues to monitor obsolescence, logistics, avionics, propulsion, sub-systems, and support issues. Sustainment of the aircraft requires existing tooling to be maintained, inventoried, and properly stored in support of future spares contracts and other sustainment requirements. Part II.
