12024B18R0010 Amendment 0001

Question:

1. Regarding the other aircraft list in Section B, Subsection B.1 SCHEDULE OF ITEMS, of solicitation number 12024B18R0010, should the potential contract awardee expect to accomplish maintenance on the other listed aircraft only when another maintenance entity is unable to accomplish the required maintenance action(s)? Or, will the contract awardee being expected to accomplish all unscheduled and scheduled maintenance actions on these aircraft?

Answer: They will be expected to accomplish scheduled and unscheduled maintenance for the other aircraft listed that are currently based in Redmond, one Cessna 206 and one Quest Kodiak which are in addition to the SD3-60s. The other aircraft listed in the table are based at other FS locations and the awardee of this solicitation may be asked to complete scheduled or unscheduled maintenance on those other aircraft but it is not a requirement for them to provide that service..

2. In that it is expected that the work will be performed at the four maintenance support locations, would the government consider removing or revising the requirement for the offeror to hold an FAA Part 145 Certified Repair Station (CRS) rated for the SD3-60 Sherpa aircraft with either an appropriate class or limited rating with a capabilities list for the Shorts SD3-60 Sherpa located in the continental US within 800 Nautical miles / 4.5 hours flight time (Single Flight without refueling) of a SD3-60 Sherpa of Redmond, OR. This requirement is extremely restrictive and does not provide the government with additional value because the work will not be done at the offeror’s location.
