Helicopter Support Services (HSS) – Type 3

1. Modern Aircraft:

Q: Modern Aircraft offers that represent an aircraft that is in production but not available in 2023 should include only prices for the first year the aircraft is available and all option years thereafter.

A: If a modern aircraft is being offered, complete the applicable Type modern aircraft pricing workbook beginning with the year transition will take place. Propose pricing in the applicable Type pricing workbook for the year(s) the non-modern aircraft is being offered, then propose pricing in applicable Type pricing workbook for modern aircraft years.

2. Section D, Exhibit 1(a)(8), Modern Helicopter Minimum Aircraft Requirements:

Q: Please clarify whether or not an aircraft manufactured PRIOR to 2000 is eligible to be offered?

A. Not for a modern aircraft CLIN.

3. Section B, B.7(a)(1)(viii), Helicopter Avionics:

Q. Please clarify if ATU is or is not required for Type 3?

A. Reference B.7(a)(1)(viii). Not required in Type 3 helicopters.

4. Section B, B.4(d)(12), Helicopter Requirements:

Q. Convex mirror or camera for observation of external loads and landing gear (not required for aircraft equipped ONLY for vertical reference operations. This is confusing please clarify if external loads are not longline, the purpose of mirror or camera?

A. Updated for clarity. Reference amendment 1202SA22R9203/P00001.

5. Section B, B.7(a)(2)(ix), Helicopter Avionics:

Q: Please clarify the rationale for this requirement, Type 3 aircraft are single pilot and has no SIC, for example?

A. Aircraft employ a Helicopter Manager that occupies a front seat (agency-assigned personnel). There are several uses. At a minimum, the requirement exists for device charging when utilizing a tablet to perform duties.

6. Section B, B.7(a)(2)(x), Helicopter Avionics:

Q. Please clarify the purpose of this requirement?

A. To ensure aircraft tolerance for portable electronic devices. Refer to FAA Advisory Circulars around this subject.

7. Attachment 10, Helicopter Services Hourly Flight Rates, Fuel Consumption, and Weight Reduction Chart:

Q. Please clarify that for proposal the price of fuel should be included in the hourly flt/rate?

A. The established hourly flight rate prepopulates for the offeror when the Aircraft, Make, Model, Series are selected by the offeror completing the Offered Aircraft tab of the workbooks. See Step 1. Navigate to the "Offered Aircraft" worksheet, fill in blue highlighted fields.

8. Solicitation Section E.3:

Q. Please clarify if additional aircraft are proposed do they currently have to be on our certificate to bid?

A. Yes. Reference solicitation Section E.3 for instructions. Also reference E.3 (b) (3) (L) …… If newly manufactured aircraft are offered, the Contract Line-Item Number and anticipated Serial Number may be provided in lieu of the registration and airworthiness certificates.

9. Section B, B.4, Helicopter Requirements:

Q. Can you clarify if Airbus AS350 B3 and AS350 B3e are required to have a crash resistant fuel tank for carding in 2023? Contract states "if available", can you clarify if this means commercially available or if they are actually available to procure. We are concerned with the supply chain and if we are going to be able to procure these on time.

A. Updated for clarity. Reference amendment 1202SA22R9203/P00001.

10. Section B.7, Helicopter Avionics:

Q. For Flight data monitoring systems the requirement for crash hardened memory may be problematic. For most light helicopters or medium twins there are limited options for flight data recording devices. In most cases, Appareo, Latitude, Eye in the Sky, Garmin G1000 may all be viable flight data solutions, however, none of these offer true "crash hardened memory." Appareo recently started offering a crashworthy memory unit for AIRs400, however, we are not sure if that product is actually for sale yet. To meet the requirements will the typical means of SD card memory suffice for flight data recording?

A. It is up to the equipment manufacturer to demonstrate that its system meets our specifications. This has been done in several ways, including certifying systems to ED- 112; certifying to ED-155; and demonstrating survivability with a combination of DO-160 testing, providing data on memory shock, impact, and thermal resistance, and mounting the memory in a reinforced enclosure. Both Appareo and Rugged Video have provided documentation. Other manufacturers may meet the requirements and have not provided documentation at this point. There are multiple methods to meet this requirement. There are no considerations being given. FAA-approved FDRs and CVRs meet this requirement.

11. Q. If a modern aircraft line item is awarded and the modern aircraft is available sooner than the offeror had proposed can the current aircraft be transitioned to the modern aircraft partially through a base or option year?

A. If a modern aircraft line item is awarded to an offeror and the modern aircraft is available for inspection and carding sooner than proposed, then the early transition may be enabled under the provisions found in B.20 Substitution or Addition of Personnel, Helicopters, and, Equipment.
