B.2 BACKGROUND

(a) The 2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Sec 1098 directed the transfer of seven HC-130H aircraft from the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) to the U.S. Air Force (USAF) for modifications, to facilitate subsequent transfer to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for use by the Forest Service (USFS) Director of Fire and Aviation Management (FAM) for multiple missions including Initial attack of wildland fires, large fire support, flight crew training and other missions as deemed necessary to the USFS. The Act’s language also directed transfer of initial spares and necessary ground support equipment for the HC-130H once the USFS takes possession of the aircraft. The sparing and GSE will not be transferred to the USFS to support USCG bailed aircraft during the Initial Operating Capability (IOC) however, the USFS will have access to USCG sparing and GSE.

(b) During IOC up to two (2) USCG HC130H aircraft will be bailed to the USFS and operated.

One aircraft will be equipped with a US Forest Service owned Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS II) and will be employed for limited retardant dropping use during the 2015 field season and other missions outside that period. The second will be utilized for flight crew training until it is delivered to Programed Depot Maintenance.

(c) The multi-mission aircraft equipped with the MAFFS II system will cease operations when the first of the seven HC-130H aircraft are transferred to the Forest Service with the NDAA directed gravity retardant delivery system (RDS) installed. It is the intent of the Forest Service to have all flight crew and maintenance activities of the bailed and transferred HC130H aircraft provided by contracted sources in a Government Owned and Contractor Operated (GOCO) business model.

B.3 SCOPE OF CONTRACT

(a) The resulting contract will provide for Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) Services of HC- 130H multi-mission aircraft at McClellan Air Park, (MCC) California. Services will be for the IOC period of the USFS HC-130H project. The estimated flight hours are approximately 200 hours in 2015, following years may increase by up to 50% based on need and fire season severity. The requirement is to provide organizational level aircraft maintenance services to include scheduled, unscheduled maintenance,and back shop support of HC-130H aircraft. Additonal aircraft maintenance or aviation related duties may be assigned. The aircraft will be maintained in accordance with the current USCG maintenance programs and procedures for the HC-130H.

Maintenance management and direction of contract maintenance personnel will be provided by the USFS / USCG project team in association with USCG Air Station Sacramento and the USCG Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) in Elizabeth City NC.

(b) The USFS HC-130H aircraft are used for multiple missions including initial attack of wildland fires, large fire support, flight crew training and other missions as deemed necessary to the USFS. The aircraft and fixed maintenance facility will be at MCC. When at a location other than MCC, maintenance discrepancies that are grounding issues will cause the aircraft to remain at the deployed, location until the discrepancy is corrected.

(c) Initially, this contract will support two HC-130H aircraft. Future needs will be determined by the Government however the maximum number of aircraft supported at any one time will be two aircraft.

(d) The contractor shall provide the aircraft maintenance and logistical support necessary to meet the requirements of this solicitation and resulting contract in support of the U.S. Forest Service HC-130H multi mission aircraft, equipped with a MAFFS II system during IOC. The contractor shall provide maintenance personnel and equipment at the USFS facility located on the McClellan Air Park (MCC) California USA. The contractor shall also provide associated maintenance and logistics support at other locations as determined by the Forest Service when the aircraft does not return to MCC due to maintenance or other issues. Work shall be directed by the USFS and USCG maintenance personnel assigned to the USFS HC-130H IOC project.

(e) The establishment of a good working relationship between the Contractor and Government is essential to the success of this contract. The Contractor’s employees' cooperation, professionalism, and positive attitude are required to establish the necessary relationship that must exist to successfully complete this contract. Additionally, the aircraft will be operated by a contracted aircrew. The establishment of a good working relationship between the contractors is also essential to the success of this contract.

(f) The Government has interagency and cooperative agreements with other Federal and State Agencies and private landholders. Aircraft supported by this contract may be dispatched under this contract for such use.

B.4 AERONAUTICAL MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND APPLICABLE
