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 .

List of changes

1. Change Offer Due Date to 2 Dec 2024 1300MT

2. Last day to submit questions,20 Nov 2024 1500MT

3. Provide Q&A from preproposal meeting

4. Exhibit 1 removed mission 9

5. B-5 q. changed reference from Exhibit 5 to Exhibit 4

6. Mission 6A, 6b AND 7

FROM

3. The minimum crew configuration for the mission of two (2) is:

(i) Flight crew (PIC)

(ii) Primary Aerial Observer (SIC/ FWFM-SU)

(iii) Second (2nd) observer

(iv) Third (3rd) observer

TO

3. The minimum crew configuration for the mission of two (2) is:

(i) Flight crew (PIC)

(ii) Primary Aerial Observer (SIC/ FWFM-SU) Note: If additional seats/positions are offered they must meet the requirements identified in this solicitation and any resultant contract. The number of seats offered cannot exceed the FAA certification for the aircraft or the operators 14 CFR 135 limitations. Aircraft type certificated for 10 or more passengers must meet the maintenance requirements for 10 or more or, have the capacity reduced to 9 or less through an STC.

7. C-20 added AV Gas national average price of $6.98 for EPA calculations

Alaska The USFS expects most of the mission in Alaska to fall under mission 7

For submissions with multiple aircraft, should one file with multiple aircraft be submitted, or a separate file for each aircraft?

For submission with multiple aircraft - Instructions to offeror, which include how/what to submit will answer this question. What will need to submit are included in Section E of the solicitation, starting on page 110 of 120.

One ATA folder per aircraft.

For Exhibit 1 – one tab on the Excel worksheet for each tail

For sensors: if we have an MX-15 with haze penetration, do we have to indicate that capability and where do we indicate that?

Because camera models do have different configuration/options, you should provide the specific build sheet or equivalent for the camera you are offering to assure we are fully aware of how the camera meets and/or exceed the base requirement

Would engines on TBO extension programs such as the MORE program be accepted?

No, please reference the portion of the contract under B-5 (h) which states: Airframe, powerplant, and their associated components that have an OEM published Time-Between Overhaul (TBO) schedule from the manufacturer shall follow that schedule. Extensions to the TBO’s shall not be allowed while operating under this contract unless approved by the OEM. These shall be documented and tracked within the aircraft’s maintenance status sheet.

100LL Is averaging 10.00 per gallon in rural Alaska. Alaska aircraft have typically been wet.

C-20(a)(2) average baseline fuel price is not a requirement for figuring the hourly wet rate of the aircraft offered. The price is only reference to Economic Price Adjustments not hourly wet rate.

The flight rate should be wet, that includes all costs to operate the aircraft including fuel. Base your rate on your average cost of fuel, not the example given in the solicitation.

Take the EPA into consideration when determining your average cost of fuel. Current national average is Jet $6.68, AvGas $6.98. EPA rate is at Jet $7.30 AvGas $6.98

Is the TDFM 9000 or 9300 configuration with 3 FM radios in on controller head to save panel space considered a good option by Forest Service?

We do not recommend any specific radio, however, the TDFM 9000 and 9300 are acceptable per the contract specifications and are currently in use by several fixed-wing and helicopter vendors.

A list of approved radios is available at https://www.nifc.gov/sites/default/files/NIICD/docs/approved_radios.pdf

Is there a way to get a flight minimum for 5b? Frequently the flights are 1.0 hours in leg length and the preflight/dispatch process can be over an hour.

There are no guaranties of flight hours under the parent MATOC award or a TORP. However, once an aircraft is ordered per B-22 or B-23 & B-26 it accrues Daily Availability until released and flight rate block to block per B-27.

Is there any data available on the current aircraft on the MATOC?

https://www.nifc.gov/sites/default/files/NIICD/docs/approved_radios.pdf

Nothing readily available to meet solicitation deadline.

Is SMS a requirement?

Yes, please see section B-15 and attachment 2 of the solicitation.

How detailed do you want the equipment list?

See B-5 q. and Exhibit 4 Especially items required to meet mission requirements

Is PED tolerance for Mission 5 and 8 required?

PED Tolerance is required for Missions 1-6. See B-7(a)(1)(xii). Mission 8 is Point to Point and has no specific avionics requirements.

Mission 7 does not require PED. This mission set is Other Special Use Non-Fire light fixed wing operations, which may include things such as passenger transportation to a remote work site

For example, a Cessna caravan comes with hundreds of line items on original equipment, can we just list the major avionics Exhibit 10 (2) (ii) (a) Current copy of charts A, B, and C (USFS configuration, Section D, Exhibit 4) of aircraft weight and balance. Aircraft actual weighing documentation including scales listed by make, model, calibration date, name of individual, signature and certificate number on document that performed weighing.

Chart A shall be a current complete equipment list identifying item nomenclature and part number/model number including items identified in B.7 and B.8.

The equipment list requirements are also referenced for avionics equipment in B-7(c)(6) and mission equipment in B-8(e)(8)

For example, Mission 5 A standard fire detection, does the following statement require high wing aircraft: "All aircraft in this category will have a minimally obstructed viewshed necessary for the FO/SIC position and the aft observer to see the detection area clearly."

No, however aircraft that have no obstruction over minimally obstructed are rated more favorably for the mission category

For Mission 4(A) Sensor Enhanced missions, is the sensor operator required to be physically located on the aircraft? Or, is the USFS open to remote operations of the sensor over a reliable SATCOM link?

On aircraft required.

Could you please confirm the 6B crew configuration. 2 crew or 4 crew. The document states the following: " The minimum crew configuration for the mission of two (2) is:

(i) Flight crew (PIC)

(ii) Primary Aerial Observer (SIC/ FWFM-SU)

(iii) Second (2nd) observer

(iv) Third (3rd) observer" The Second (2nd) Observer and Third(3rd) observer positions are not required but may be offered depending on aircraft configuration and those positions meeting the requirements of the solicitation. Solicitation will be amended to state that the Second and Third observer positions are optional

If we do not have SMS in place currently, does it have to be in place by the time we make the offer by the 15th? Or can we denote that we are building it on the forms and have it ready by award?

The reference and evidence need to be based on items currently in place. We cannot evaluate something that isn't already in place

Are all submitted documents in the proposal considered confidential? For example, will the Ops Manuals and SMS programs remain confidential and not be shared with others?

Yes, Source selection sensitive.

We have had CWN contracts with the USFS but have flown under EU contracts with state agencies.

Shall we include our contracts for the USFS, in addition to our state information, even though we didn't fly under the USFS CWN contracts?

Include references where work was performed.

Are there any specific sensor-equipped aircraft that are particularly in need?

The USFS does not identify specific Makes and Models of aircraft for the National Light Fixed Wing MATOC missions. The aircraft offered will be evaluated against the requirements of the contract.

What are some preferred make and models of aircraft for 3A The USFS does not identify specific Makes and Models of aircraft for the National Light Fixed Wing MATOC missions. The aircraft offered will be evaluated against the requirements of the contract.

I still don’t quite understand the plan to comply with section B.5- if we are currently following an OEM approved 100hr/annual inspection program, do we just submit a letter noting that?

As a suggestion, answer each of the B-5 sub sections individually in the form of a written plan

Manufacture class If there is not an OEM or Commercial course, in house training syllabus is required to show how the mechanic meets the requirements.

How would you like us to address pilots who are still accumulating 25 hours in type on the form?

They will have that prior to observation flights in the spring, but do not yet have the requirements at the time of submission.

Identify how the pilot will meet the requirement prior to being carded by a USFS inspector pilot.

Is there any way we can get a directory of the Forest Service staff that are on the call so that we can reach out if we have anything specific?

Because the solicitation is open, direct conversations between USFS staff and offerors is not allowed.

Direct questions to Matt the Contracting Officer and he will pass those on to the specific subject matter experts or facilitate further discussion prior to proposals being due. (EMAIL) 20 Nov final day for question.
