Therefore, the Government is hereby querying Industry for input on the appropriate contract type for the AFM II effort. Please provide detailed rationale for the suggested contract type. Please submit responses via email to the contracting officer, Nicole S. Sullivan-Williams, at Nicole.s.sullivan-williams.civ@mail.mil or the Contract Specialist, Larry E.

Telephone calls will not be accepted.Sources SoughtTHIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS FOR WRITTEN INFORMATION ONLY Request for Information (RFI)Sources Sought, Corporate Capability Statements and Questions, Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS), and One-on-One AnnouncementI. RFI Overview: The Army Contracting Command-Redstone (ACC-Redstone) is seeking information concerning the interest and availability of capable contractors to provide contract support to the Aviation and Missile Command's (AMCOM) Aviation Field Maintenance (AFM) program. This is follow-on market research for the Sources Sought released in 2015 for this effort and a similar requirement for Aviation Maintenance services at Fort Rucker (Reference W58RGZ-16-R-0005). This Sources Sought is only for AFM II and therefore does not include the Fort Rucker effort. AMCOM Aviation Field Maintenance (AFM) II Contract: This contract will provide rotary wing aviation field and sustainment level maintenance support, aircraft modifications, and other logistical services for Aviation customers worldwide. With the Reset program reducing considerably, future work emphasis will shift to support for the Combat Aviation Brigades (CAB), separate Battalions, Detachments, National Guard/Reserve aviation units, and other Departments or Agencies through: Passback maintenance, Maintenance Work Order (MWO) application, installation aviation activities, and other level of effort tasks. Reference the attached DRAFT AFM II PWS that provides potential scope to be performed.Contract Background, Type, and Anticipated Period of Performance: The Government must have a contract vehicle that allows for flexibility as Army aviation maintenance and modification requirements are subject to change year-to-year. The AFM II contract will be a hybrid type contract which will predominately include a Time and Materials (T&M) type effort for touch labor and Firm Fixed Price (FFP) for program management (PM). The total contract period of performance will include a 90 day transition period, a base year and seven one-year option periods. The contract shall contain the clause at FAR 52.217-9, "Option to Extend the Term of the Contract" to provide for a bridge contract should it be necessary. The AFM II contract structure will still support the Army aviation maintenance "regional" concept. The Government will conduct a best value full and open competition. There will be one request for proposal (RFP) from which two contracts will be awarded. One contract will be for the East Region (AFM - East) and one for the West Region (AFM-West) (Figure 1 - See Attachement 1). There will be an RFP provision for a "split" award. One contractor cannot win both Regions. Contractors must submit a proposal for each desired regional contract effort. Regional proposals will be evaluated independently. The source selection process will determine the best value proposals for each region. Should the same contractor have the best proposal for both regions, they will only be awarded the region that they offered the greatest total price. The base year will be awarded. Sixty days prior to the conclusion of each contract period the contractor will be notified if the Government intends to award an option year. Options will be utilized in order to help stabilize a program driven by OMA funding, and at the same time, allow for the easy replacement of a contractor should they fail to meet the Government's expectations. Location: The location of the effort to be performed by the AFM II requirement will be both in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). Each region will have CONUS and OCONUS responsibility and aligned along Combatant Commander's (COCOMs) area of responsibility worldwide. The total number of sites for each region is variable (10 - 20+) based on surge/contingency efforts at the time of award. AFM requirements are considered services with the appropriate services laws and regulations being applicable. All contracts awarded will include the Ground and Flight Risk clause and will require a higher level of quality requirements to include Aerospace Standard 9110 (current version). It is anticipated that North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 488190, Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, will apply. The current standard is $32.5M.
