SECTION A – SCHEDULE OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES

BLM Exclusive Use Smokejumper 8 Solicitation # 140D0425R0130 Flight Services, Fort Wainwright, Alaska

SCHEDULE OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES

A1 – General

The Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Alaska Fire Service (AFS), requires contractor operated and maintained aircraft (Items 1 & 2) for Exclusive Use (EU) flight services for smokejumper operations in support of natural resource and fire suppression missions. The EU period will be 120 calendar days for both Item 1 and Item 2.

BLM AFS requires two (2) fixed wing multi-engine aircraft equipped for smokejumper deployment on fires primarily in the State of Alaska, and may include fires in the Lower 48 States, as directed by the Government. Aircraft must be capable of operating at or near gross weight and will serve as aerial platforms for deploying airborne firefighters and equipment, including low-level flight (below 500 feet) for paracargo delivery.

The aircraft will begin the EU period at Ft. Wainwright and may operate out of field stations with paved or unpaved airstrips of 3,000 feet or more in length, including Eagle, Dahl Creek, Galena, McGrath, Fort Yukon, and Kenai.

The Government will assign the aircraft to support its missions and objectives 24 hours per day, 7 days per week during the pre-determined EU period, as well as during any needed extensions. Services also include transportation of Government personnel and cargo, aerial delivery of fire support equipment, project fire support, and other interagency governmental work.

Under the National Mobilization Plan, aircraft may be dispatched to locations nationwide beyond those listed.

Environmental conditions will vary, including paved and/or gravel runways in remote locations, freezing spring temperatures, summer highs in the 90s, and frequent thunderstorms in the mountains. Aircraft may encounter turbulence from wildfires and weather systems. With extended daylight, variable conditions, and lightning storms, aircraft may require double-crewing and increased maintenance. The Government may request additional pilots and mechanics, should the need arise.

While at Ft. Wainwright, the contractor must be prepared to provide housing and logistical support for flight crews. Away from base, housing may range from barracks to rented accommodations or tent camps in remote villages. The Government will supply a sleeping bag, mosquito net, cotton cord, and plastic sheeting. Contractors must provide tents for their crews.

Alaska Fire Service offers dining facilities in Fairbanks, Galena, and Ft. Yukon. In other locations, meals may consist of sack lunches, meals ready to eat (MREs), or fresh food boxes. In some cases, pilots may be required to provide their own meals.

This contract has a base five-year ordering period with a six-month extension of services option, IAW FAR 52.217-8.

Contractor services include provision of two (2) fixed wing multi engine aircraft, personnel, and all other associated equipment, as prescribed in this solicitation.
