- Description
- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) for COMFRC Equipment Services Contract Opportunites Description: This Request for Information (RFI) is in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15.2 and is published only to obtain information for use by Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC), Fleet Readiness Centers at San Diego, Jacksonville, Cherry Point, and other associated facilities.� The Government is seeking information from industry to identify contracting alternatives for the maintenance, sustainment, repair support and calibration of plant production equipment The objectives of this RFI are to receive industry recommendations to: Identify critical equipment to the site�s aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) processes and the best commercial practices for maintaining, sustaining, and calibrating this equipment. Similarly, to identify non-critical equipment to the site�s aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) processes and the best commercial practices for maintaining, sustaining, and calibrating this equipment. Identify alternatives to maintain equipment required for MRO that are difficult to keep functional due to age, lack of support, or other issues. In addition, recommend best practices to identify maintain vs. scrap breakpoints for this equipment. Identify a range of equipment maintenance, sustainment, and calibration alternatives that allow tradeoffs of production capacity, schedule, and cost. Places of Performance: Naval Air Station (NAS) North Island, San Diego, CA; NAS Jacksonville, FL; Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, NC; and other COMFRC associated sites around the CONUS About us: Fleet Readiness Centers (FRCs) provide depot Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul, and Upgrade (MRO&U), In-service Repair (ISR), and manufacturing services in support of fixed and rotary wing aircraft, aircraft engines, aeronautical components, and support equipment across the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE).
