STANDARD FORM 30 (REV. 11/2016)

Prescribed by GSA FAR (48 CFR) 53.243

Previous edition unusable

Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the document referenced in Item 9 A or 10A, as heretofore changed, remains unchanged and in full force and effect .

All Types

Q. Would it be possible when revision are issued for the MATOC, Excel Pricing sheets, or other required documents as part of the solicitation response packages, that a red-line copy, detailed list/table of changes, or a cover page is provided in the revision of what items, language, and requirements have changed? This has become an extremely voluminous document, and it is not an insignificant undertaking to try and ferret out the changes and revisions spread throughout the document often consuming significant amounts of time.

A. No.

Q. I just want to know if you guys will be accepting bids for CLIN’s annually? I can make it work either way, I just need to know the rules!

A. CLINs – 5 years of pricing will be requested for each CLIN prior to each CLIN becoming vacant.

Q. Regarding the MATOC/HSS solicitation I would like to pose a scenario. If there is an EU CLIN for a modern type 2 and there are no bids or not enough modern type 2’s to fill the CLIN, then let’s say the contract is awarded to a standard type 2. After year 1, can a different vendor then bid a modern type 2 and essentially bump that standard type 2 to fulfill the CLIN?

In other words, can you bid at anytime? And if so does the original CLIN specs take precedent?

A. No. Once an EU CLIN is awarded the performance period will be satisfied by the awardee.

Q. It is my current understanding that in the initial response to the MATOC, only CWN pricing is being requested/required. The CLIN/TORP (EU) items will be requested/solicited at a later date AFTER initial/Parent MATOC contracts have been awarded. I just want to confirm that if CLIN/TORP pricing is not submitted in the initial bid, that TORP/CLIN price will be requested/solicited post Parent Contract award, and that if TORP/CLIN pricing is not offered in the initial response, the offerer WILL have the opportunity to provide TORP/CLIN pricing at a later date/opportunity?

A. Yes.

Type 3

Q. Also, in the type 3 world, why are the night aerial supervision platforms for Line item #57 & 58 not light twins (s/t)? Seems like common sense to me.

A. Light twin aircraft can be offered to these CLINs however single engine performance satisfies the requirement.

Type 2

Q. Looking for clarification on our part regarding the following on fuel tanks. From your understanding, is the crash resistant fuel system part of the mandatory technical requirement?

(6) Fuel Tanks: Crash Resistant Fuel System meeting at least partial compliance with Part 29.952 Amendment level 35.

A. Yes.

Q. Are the bell 205 standard fuel tank configurations acceptable, or is it the intent that the fleet will have to retrofit for self-sealing tanks to meet the partial requirement?

A. The requirement found in B.4(d) General Equipment states the following:

The following equipment will be required. Helicopters shall be configured with the equipment required by 14 CFR and be approved for make and model furnished. All items needed that the helicopter is not Type Certificated with shall have an additional FAA approval for installation such as a supplemental type certificate (STC), Field approval or 8110 with installation approval.

Some items below specify the level of approval needed:

(32) Crash Resistant Fuel System if commercially available, meeting at least partial compliance with Part 27.952 Amendment level 30 or 29.952 Amendment level 35. See SAIB SW-17-31R2 (or latest revision) for latest list of eligible aircraft.

Q. Section B subsection (iii) Avionics requirements for Type 2 aircraft. I just want to confirm that we must have individual volume controls for each receiver in the back of the aircraft. This will require a significant investment and I would like to get some confirmation on this requirement before we spend any money. Can you confirm or direct me to someone who can confirm that is the intention of the requirement?

A. B.7(a) Minimum Requirements establishes the minimum requirements for each mission. Exhibit 10 (Rotor Wing Aerial Supervision) requires individual volume controls.

Type 1 Q. Question 29 is in regard to a performance increasing modification to the UH-60 helicopter that is in final approval with the FAA. I'm confident in this as one of our aircraft was used as the test article and have witnessed the performance increase personally. We have been in frequent discussions with BLR about the timeline of the STC issuance and expect it within the next 30-45 days.

Question 38 is in regard to a performance increasing modification to the S-61 helicopter, using different engines, that seems to be in much the same situation, nearing FAA approval but not currently approved, according to how the question is worded.

My question about this is:

Why the different treatment for the different aircraft under what appear to be very similar circumstances where one, the UH-60, is flatly denied and the other is, at a glance, allowed?

Maybe I have missed something in my reading of the Q&A document?

A. Question 29 is regarding a BLR STC that is yet to be approved. Question 38 is regarding what to do if an approved STC is not present in Attachment 19. Attachment 19 is a collection of approved performance references.

Q. I have read the amendment 2 Q&A. We still have a question. Where do you want the vendor plan and list of complied with military messages listed in B-10 submitted in the submission packet? or will this be complied with at carding?

Offeror’s must submit a plan on how they intend to comply with the completion of military messages both past and present and include a documented list of currently complied with messages for the type aircraft offered.

A. Place the plan and the applicable military messages in the following folder(s) found in E.10 Sect 2:

AirworthinessCerts – Include airworthiness Certificate for each aircraft separate folders
