1.0 KIS Structure and Objectives

1.1 Objectives

The KC-46 Initial Spares Program, hereafter referred to as KIS, is a contract vehicle designed to provide reparable line replaceable units (LRU)(s) to worldwide locations to include, but not limited to, United States Government (USG) and Foreign Partner Main Operating Bases (MOB)(s) that comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defined processes and procedures.

Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Mobility and Training Directorate, KC- 46 Program Office (AFLCMC/WLC) plans to competitively procure a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Contract to streamline and standardize the acquisition and support the procurement process of initial spare parts for the KC-46. This acquisition will utilize the FAR 15 Source Selection process to conduct a partial set-aside competition targeting contract awards in two separate pools: Unrestricted and Small Business. The Small Business Pool will be reserved for businesses that are classified as a small business under the NAICS code 336413 and have elected to participate in that pool. Additionally, in accordance with 13 C.F.R. § 121.406 paragraph (b)(7), the USAF has verified that a class waiver applies to NAICS code 336413 and the USAF intends to use it for this acquisition. The Government reserves the right to award no contracts at all, if the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines it is in the Government’s best interest. Offerors must identify whether they will be competing in the Unrestricted or Small Business Pool. Offerors may only submit a proposal for one of the two pools for initial contract award. Unrestricted delivery orders will be available for competition for all prime KIS contract holders while other delivery orders will be set-aside for those in the KIS Small Business Pool.

1.2 Approach

KIS will establish a flexible and responsive capability to meet our customers’ needs by providing a base of pre-qualified contractors who can be rapidly accessed through both competitive and noncompetitive methods, as appropriate, to provide the required products described in the KIS Statement of Work (SOW). Each delivery order will specifically define the spares required to be delivered by the contractor.

The Government anticipates award in August 2022. The maximum ordering period for KIS is ten

(10) years. The ordering period is defined as the time period that delivery orders can be issued under this contract. The ordering period is broken out as follows: a five (5)-year base, plus one five (5)-year option, if exercised. The performance period shall not extend more than one (1) year beyond the 10-year limit.

The Government intends to award multiple basic ID/IQ KIS contracts. Applicable contract type contract line item numbers (CLINs) will be specified on each individual delivery order.

In accordance with FAR 52.216-19, the stated “minimum order amount” of $1.00, but no more than $1,000.00, will be obligated via orders issued after announcement of successful Offerors.

Offerors must receive a basic contract award to be eligible to receive a delivery order award.

Delivery orders issued under these contracts will be funded in accordance with (IAW) federal appropriations law. The aggregate ceiling of the KIS program is $1.894B.

1.3 Proposal Preparation Instructions

This section of the ITO provides general guidance for preparing proposals, as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Offerors are required to submit one proposal with sufficient information concerning all factors to enable Government personnel to fully ascertain the Offeror’s capabilities to perform the requirements. The Offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested by the ITO and must be submitted IAW these instructions. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Alternate proposals are not acceptable. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in the ITO may result in a grossly deficient proposal evaluation and may render the proposal unawardable.

The proposal shall be clear and concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and that the Government will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

Offerors are advised that the costs of any response to or otherwise incurred as a result of responding to this proposal request are not chargeable to this proposal effort.

The proposal acceptance period is specified in Section A of the model contract/solicitation. The Offeror shall make a clear statement in Section A of the proposal documentation volume that the proposal is valid until 30 August 2022.

In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one digital copy of all unsuccessful proposals. The Government will not return any proposals and will destroy any additional copies of proposals.
