CASPER RFP Questions

IAW PWS Section 1.1: The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to provide world-wide supply support of a list of KC46A Depot Level Repair (DLR) National Stock Numbers (NSN), Attachment A, to the 448 Supply Chain Management Wing (SCMW). The 448 SCMW requires no greater than 30-day exchange of an unserviceable asset for a serviceable asset with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified serviceable tag 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance (CoC).

2 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf 1.3(b), 5 "The Contractor shall provide proof of their FAA certification at the basic contract level and at the time of all orders to determine Contractor has met specific FAA requirements." Please confirm contractor can meet this requirement with its own Certification/145 and/or using Certification/145 of a team member (affiliate, subcontractor, JV, etc.)? Subcontractors/partnerships can be used for the requirements of the 145 repair station. The prime would be responsible for all documentation and and any capability requirements.

IAW PWS Sections 18.1, 18.2.C.1, and 29.1 3 FA810926R0001_KC-46_RFP_14Nov25_Highlighted.pdf 3.2.1.1 "The Offeror shall provide their current FAA Part 145 Repair Station certification documentation for repair on the KC-46." Please clarify the following: "….for repair on the KC-46."

Repair facilities are licensed for component repair at the Part level, not the airframe level. FAA 145 certificate will not specifically state KC-46. The license would govern specific classifications of parts, accessories, powerplant, avionics, and then a list of part numbers within those categories.

Confirm USG wants to ensure the 145 has capability for parts on the KC-46. FAA 145 Certification will be accepted at the component level rather than airframe level.

IAW RFP section 3.2.1.1 The Offeror shall provide their current FAA Part 145 Repair Station certification documentation or a written statement that a current FAA Certification will be provided at least 15 business days prior to the SSA Decision Briefing. The Government is not required to delay contract award to allow for contractors to apply for and receive new FAA certifications.

For clarity: "For repair on the KC-46" is stating that to be able to work on the aircraft contractor must have the certificate not that the certificate must state KC-46.

As stated in the FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation Factors for Award, 1.1, "To be eligible for award, the Offeror must present their FAA Part 145 Repair Station Certifications". Yes, we want to ensure the offeror has capability for parts on the KC-46.

4 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf 2.1, 6 "The Contractor shall obtain direction/validation from the PCO, COR/QAR, and 448 SCMW prior to replacement action for GFP items determined to be BER (75% of a new/ overhauled/repaired 100% service life remaining equivalent replacement cost)." As the requirements for pricing submission are Firm Fixed price, we need clarification as to when a contractor would be allowed to submit a request to the USG for replacement. Initial pricing would never exceed a 75% threshold. Upon TT&E (likely Non-Comm only) and determination that the asset is either BER or BPR the contractor will submit a request to the USG for acceptance of replacement action.

IAW PWS section 2.1.

PWS Appendix B Defintions:

Beyond Economical Repair: a part should not be restored to a serviceable condition because the repair costs would exceed an agreed-upon percentage of the part’s total acquisition cost.

Beyond Physical Repair: a repair item that cannot be returned to service due to excessive damage or component obsolescence regardless of cost.

5 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf 4.1, 6 "Parts Manufacture Authority (PMA) parts may be used for KC46 repair actions…." Can the USG provide clarification on DER repairs for the KC-46 program? DER Repairs will not be accepted because DER repairs have to be approved by program office engineering due to the repair being outside of CMM requirements.

IAW PWS section 3.1 The Contractor shall ensure spares, repaired, and or overhauled items bear a FAA approved document Form 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance (CoC).

It is USG's intention to stay current with industry standards and practices to ensure the KC-46 will not have a DMSMS issue. If the vendor is not awarded a FOPR order they would not have any expectation to maintain a DMSMS program.

8 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf 13.1, 9 "O&A Charges are Government directed tasks within scope of the contract but not specifically forecasted such as bird strikes, lightning strikes, FOD, dropped or damaged components…" Can the USG clarify that items such as Missing Parts and Customer Induced Damage (CID) would be allowed as potential O&A? Yes, the forementioned items would be allowed as potential O&A.

IAW PWS section 13.1 13.1 Over and above (O&A) work means charges not covered or separately priced in a contract line item. O&A Charges are Government directed tasks within scope of the contract but not specifically forecasted such as bird strikes, lightning strikes, FOD, dropped or damaged components, as well as Government directed actions beyond the scope of the current contract but do not require a change in the PWS or any contract clauses. O&A also includes items with non-routine repair request from service bulletins (SBs) or mandated work scope from airworthiness directives (ADs) that have been approved by the KC46A Chief Engineer. The Contractor shall perform all O&A documentation and processing. The Contractor shall provide all direct and indirect material costs, labor categories, labor hours, service quotes, equipment, tools, and other data to perform O&A tasks, when authorized in writing by the PCO or ACO. The Contractor shall obtain approval from the PCO prior to commencing work. O&A shall adhere to DFARS 252.217-7028 and DFARS PGI 217.77.

9 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf 15.1, 10 "The Contractor shall track the rate of consumption and usage of spares and repair parts required for maintenance support." Is the expectation of the USG for awardees to track all piece parts used during the repair of an asset and to provide that data to the USG IAW Parts Usage Report (Appendix D, DI-ILSS-81226)? It is the expectation of the USG for vendors to only provide monthly tracking and updates for assets that are in their possession. We do not expect contractors to track piece parts.

IAW PWS sections 15.1 The Contractor shall track the rate of consumption and usage of spares and repair parts required for maintenance support. The Contractor shall inform the Government of spares or components that require repair or replacement. The Contractor shall submit a comprehensive parts usage history report to include the last two years of data upon request from the PCO. The Contractor shall develop and deliver a Parts Usage Report (Appendix D, DI-ILSS-81226).

Section 21.1 When requested, the Contractor will supply repair production report (Appendix D, DI-PSSS-81995A) updates twice per month, on the 15th and the 30th (or on the 28th for the month of February). On the occasion that these days fall on a holiday, the first business day following the holiday will apply.

And Section 8.1 When requested, the Material Data Report (Appendix D, DI-FNCL-82009A) and/or Contract Depot Maintenance (CDM) Monthly Production Report (Appendix D, DI-PSSS-81995A) of all direct material used in the performance of the contract. At the end of each contract period, the Contractor shall deliver a summary report for that period.

10 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf 1.1, 4 "The 448 SCMW requires no greater than 30-day exchange of an unserviceable asset for a serviceable asset with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified serviceable tag 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance (CoC)." There may be parts that are unable to be repaired and returned within 30 days based on quoted turn times from qualified sources in the industry. Would a contractor be eliminated from proposal evaluation if their submitted lead time for a part exceeded the 30 day requirement. In the event a part requires more than 30 days it will be evaluated on a case by case basis with modifications to individual FOPRs, however, a 30-day TAT is the expected benchmark.

IAW PWS Section 1.1 The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to provide world-wide supply support of a list of KC46A Depot Level Repair (DLR) National Stock Numbers (NSN), Attachment A, to the 448 Supply Chain Management Wing (SCMW). The 448 SCMW requires no greater than 30-day exchange of an unserviceable asset for a serviceable asset with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified serviceable tag 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance (CoC). The 30-day exchange time starts when contractor receives unserviceable item and ends when the contractor has provided shipping document of the serviceable asset in transit back to the 448 SCMW. These parts can be new, overhauled, or repaired parts that will come with a standard industry warranty. The 448 SCMW does not plan to provide a commercial spares pool or provide access to a spares pool of serviceable assets to a contractor to support 30-day requirement.

11 Attachment_5_Ordering Procedures KC-46.pdf 2.6.1, 4 "Only qualified contractors will be considered for subsequent orders under this MAC IDIQ for the specific parts the repair in the facility for which they have provided their respective FAA Part 145 Repair Facility certification. Qualified contractors are those who have adequately met all requirements during the initial order, Initial Product Evaluation (IPE) (if required), have maintained timely deliveries, and have maintained FAA Part 145 Repair Facility certification for the specific part(s) on the FOPR." Can the USG please confirm that subcontracting will be allowed on this program? Subcontractors/partnerships can be used for the requirements of the 145 repair station. The prime would be responsible for all documentation and any capability requirements.

IAW PWS Sections 18.1, 18.2.C.1, and 29.1 12 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf/Attachment_5_Ordering Procedures KC-46.pdf No specific section Can the USG provide information on how parts are to be shipped from the USG to the awardee? Will the awardee be able to provide shipping documentation and appropriate shipping accounts so parts can be directly shipped from the USG to the repair facility? This would not only decrease the time it takes to return the asset to the USG, but also eliminate an extra leg of shipping resulting in a monetary savings. USG will provide tracking information to the awardee when asset has shipped. Assets are shipped directly to the repair facility based off of DODAAC provided by the contractor.

IAW PWS Section 1.3.F.3 For the FAA certified serviceable items, passage of title and risk of loss will transfer to the 448 SCMW at the time the material is received from the contractor by the Government at the designated shipping location. This segment shall be populated with the contractor Execution System Date/Time that the part was made available to be picked up by the Government arranged shipping provider. All serviceable items from contractor will be delivered to DODAAC listed in the order and title of items will become Government Property.

13 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf 1.3(d) “The Contractor shall oversee program activities, provide a single point of contact (POC) for the Government, schedule and chair meetings, and ensure contract requirements are fulfilled.” The only meeting requirement clearly established in the PWS/CDRLs is the PMR. Does the Government have expectations for other standing performance meetings to be scheduled and chaired by KTR? The only meeting requirement is the PMR, however, it is the government's intention to have a single point of contact for each contractor with the authority to make decisions and answer questions on an as needed basis.

IAW PWS Section 20.1 The Contractor Program Manager shall schedule and support PMRs, and support Air Force breakout sessions when requested. The Contractor and Government shall establish the schedule, agenda, and location of all PMRs. PMRs shall be scheduled at alternating Contractor and Government facilities if possible. The government will be responsible for arranging for access to military bases for contractor personnel as required. If necessary, contractor will provide meeting agenda (Appendix D, DI-ADMN-81249C), minutes (Appendix D, DI-ADMN-81250C), and presentation material (Appendix D, DI-ADMN-81373).

14 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf 6.1 "In the event a part is inoperable upon initial installation or aircraft incident, a deficiency report will be generated by the end user. When requested, the contractor shall assist the 448 SCMW in the evaluation of exhibits repaired by contractor to determine the root cause of deficiencies reported from field or depot organizations.” Can the Government provide greater details on the circumstances under which KTR support would be requested to support a Government root cause corrective action assistance, and the type of assistance the KTR is expected to provide? In the event a part comes in damaged or fails upon installation all reporting will be done through a system called the Joint Defiecency Reporting System (JDRS) to track issues and record possible trends. The USG will require documentation and details from the vendor to ensure the report is filled out to utmost accuracy. Contractors are not required to gain and maintain access to JDRS.

IAW PWS Section 6.1 In the event a part is inoperable upon initial installation or aircraft incident, a deficiency report will be generated by the end user. When requested, the contractor shall assist the 448 SCMW in the evaluation of exhibits repaired by contractor to determine the root cause of deficiencies reported from field or depot organizations. Information will be provided to contractor by the 448 SCMW from the originators detailed data from the Material Deficiency Report/Product Quality Deficiency Report (MDR/PQDR) process (Appendix D, DI-QCIC-80736).

IAW PWS Sections 18.1, 18.2.C.1, and 29.1 17 Attachment_5_Ordering Procedures KC-46.pdf 2.6.3 "Each FOPR response will be reviewed with Technical, Price, Delivery, and Past Performance as the only evaluation factors due to the requirement for each Contractor to maintain FAA Part 145 Repair Facility certification on for the part(s) for which they desire to offer services." Can the government please confirm that the requirement for certification of capability to repair the part for which a proposal would be submitted extends to a subcontractor's capability? Subcontractors/partnerships can be used for the requirements of the 145 repair station. The prime would be responsible for all documentation and and any capability requirements.

IAW PWS Sections 18.1, 18.2.C.1, and 29.1 18 Attachment_5_Ordering Procedures KC-46.pdf 2.3 "Unless a Fair Opportunity Exception exists IAW with FAR 16.505(b)(2), the Contracting Officer will issue a Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) to all IDIQ Awardees who have provided their FAA Part 145 Repair Facility certification proof for the part(s) listed in the FOPR via direct electronic communication, typically email. All IDIQ Awardees whose repair facilities are FAA certified for each specific part(s) are encouraged to compete for orders. Each IDIQ Awardee who is FAA certified for the specific part(s) on the order shall evaluate the opportunity and determine whether to submit a proposal." Can the government please confirm that the requirement for certification of capability to repair the part for which a proposal would be submitted extends to a subcontractor's capability? Subcontractors/partnerships can be used for the requirements of the 145 repair station. The prime would be responsible for all documentation and and any capability requirements.

IAW PWS Sections 18.1, 18.2.C.1, and 29.1

IAW Attachment 5 Section 2.4.1.3 The ordering CO will initiate the FOPR process by sending a written FOPR andattachments (hereafter referred to as FOPR package) to the part specific FAAcertified IDIQ Awardees. The FOPR letter will include, at a minimum, thefollowing information:

Description of required exchange and/or repair and quantities required (CLINs/ELINs solicited)

The USG contracting office will not issue FOPR template guidelines upon solicitiation.

IAW Attachment 5 section 2.4 Unless otherwise specified in a FOPR, the following defines the fair opportunity process, how orders will be processed and priced, and how orders will be awarded. The ordering CO will initiate the FOPR process by sending a written FOPR and attachments (hereafter referred to as FOPR package) to the part specific FAA certified IDIQ Awardees. The FOPR letter will include, at a minimum, the following information:

Questions Due Date Proposal Due Date Description of required exchange and/or repair and quantities required (CLINs/ELINs solicited) FAA Part 145 Facility certification proof for the part(s) on the FOPR

2.4.1.5. Delivery Information

Statement informing Contractors whether a single or multiple orders are contemplated Statement requiring rationale for no proposal if contractor does not intend to bid on the FOPR 22 Attachment_1_PWS_KC-46_CASPER_MAC.pdf 1 Section 1.0 Description of Service From the PWS in 1.0 Description of Services, just want to confirm the intent of the scope and interpretation of repairs in the form of new equipment, “These parts can be new, overhauled, or repaired parts that will come with a standard industry warranty”? So, either “A” condition assets are held by Industry (with proper documentation), or Industry can repair and replace within 30 days that meets all required documentation and warranty requirements? To sum it up, this is an expeditated way to have “A” condition assets on the shelf, vice using Air Force Working Capital Fund to purchase spares and stock at DLA Distribution sites, industry is managing the inventory not the USAF. It is the governments desire to exchange our "F" condition assets for "A" condition, certficated and serviceable assets witin 30 days or less. These assets should come with an industry standard 1 year warranty.

IAW PWS Section 1.1 The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to provide world-wide supply support of a list of KC46A Depot Level Repair (DLR) National Stock Numbers (NSN), Attachment A, to the 448 Supply Chain Management Wing (SCMW). The 448 SCMW requires no greater than 30-day exchange of an unserviceable asset for a serviceable asset with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified serviceable tag 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance (CoC). The 30-day exchange time starts when contractor receives unserviceable item and ends when the contractor has provided shipping document of the serviceable asset in transit back to the 448 SCMW. These parts can be new, overhauled, or repaired parts that will come with a standard industry warranty. The 448 SCMW does not plan to provide a commercial spares pool or provide access to a spares pool of serviceable assets to a contractor to support 30-day requirement.

IAW PWS section 1.3.F.2 The 448 SCMW will provide an unserviceable item to the contractor and the contractor shall return a FAA certified serviceable item within the specified repair delivery time to the 448 SCMW. Serial number tracking is not applicable to this scope.

28 Will the Government provide minimum and maximum Expected Turnaround Time (TAT) expectations per part number? Additionally, will TAT requirements follow a structure similar to the KC-46 Initial Spares (KIS) FOPRs (e.g., multi-year delivery windows), or will each NSN/CLIN carry unique TAT requirements at the FOPR level? In the event a part requires more than 30 days it will be evaluated on a case by case basis with modifications to individual FOPRs, however, a 30-day TAT is the expected benchmark.

IAW PWS Seciton 1.1 The 448 SCMW requires no greater than 30-day exchange of an unserviceable asset for a serviceable asset with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified serviceable tag 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance (CoC). The 30-day exchange time starts when contractor receives unserviceable item and ends when the contractor has provided shipping document of the serviceable asset in transit back to the 448 SCMW. These parts can be new, overhauled, or repaired parts that will come with a standard industry warranty.

29 Attachment_5_Ordering Procedures_KC-46 For FOPRs that utilize reverse auctions, will price be the primary evaluation factor, or will technical factors (e.g., proposed TAT, warranty terms, demonstrated quality, past performance) also be weighted in award considerations? Based on the "Attachment_5_Ordering Procedures_KC-46" document, for any FOPR that utilizes a reverse auction, the award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis.

This means that while technical factors (such as TAT, warranty, quality, and past performance) are critically important as a "pass/fail" gateway to determine if an offeror is technically acceptable, they are not weighted for competitive advantage. Once an offeror is deemed technically acceptable, the award is made solely to the offeror who provides the lowest price during the reverse auction. Therefore, price becomes the single determining factor among the pool of technically qualified bidders.

IAW PSW 1.0 The 448 SCMW requires no greater than 30-day exchange of an unserviceable asset for a serviceable asset with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified serviceable tag 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance (CoC). The 30-day exchange time starts when contractor receives unserviceable item and ends when the contractor has provided shipping document of the serviceable asset intransit back to the 448 SCMW. These parts can be new, overhauled, or repaired parts that will come with a standard industry warranty. The 448 SCMW does not plan to provide a commercial spares pool or provide access to a spares pool of serviceable assets to a contractor to support 30-day requirement.

38 We’ve noted within the subject solicitation that each of the NSNs listed are PSPL Part Type = KC-46 Unique. Will there be additional solicitations published for other NSNs which are not Unique to KC-46. For example, NSNs which are common between the KC-46 and 767 commercial model aircraft? Commercial common and military unique assets are both included in the NSN listing.

IAW Exhibit B-KC-46_ELINs, there are 2 tabs on the excel file

IAW PWS Sections 18.1, 18.2.C.1, and 29.1

The 145 Repair Station Certification will satisfy the USG requirement.

IAW PWS 1.3(b) (b) The Contractor shall provide proof of their FAA certification at the basic contract level and at the time of all orders to determine Contractor has met specific FAA requirements

Yes, the Government confirms that FAA Part 145 Repair Station certification documentation for the Boeing 767 commercial aircraft will satisfy the technical requirement for repair on the KC-46.

The KC-46 is a military derivative of the 767 commercial airframe. As the FAA provides certification for commercial aircraft and their components, the 767 certification is the correct and relevant credential to demonstrate the required technical capability and quality systems for common, non-militarized components found on the KC-46.

Offerors must ensure that their submitted certification and the associated Operations Specifications (OpSpecs) explicitly cover the specific part numbers or aircraft systems for which they are proposing repair capabilities.

45 Reference: Section L, Paragraph 3.2.1.1; Section M, Paragraphs 1.1 and 2.2.1; PWS Section 1.3(b); Attachment 5, Paragraphs 1.4.1, 2.3, and 2.6.3 The solicitation requires offerors to present "their" FAA Part 145 Repair Station certification. During the pre-solicitation phase (6/25/2025), the Government indicated that integrators managing subcontracted repair facilities would be eligible to compete, as the subcontractor facility would be considered under the purview of the prime. However, the current solicitation language appears to limit competition to entities holding the certification directly. Is competition limited to only FAA Part 145 certified repair shops, or are integrators eligible to compete if they manage certified subcontractors? Subcontractors/partnerships can be used for the requirements of the 145 repair station. The prime would be responsible for all documentation and any capability requirements.

IAW PWS Sections 18.1, 18.2.C.1, and 29.1

The Government confirms that the intent stated during the pre-solicitation phase on 6/25/2025 remains correct. Competition is not limited to only the repair shops that directly hold an FAA Part 145 certification.

Integrators are eligible to compete.

To satisfy the solicitation requirement, an integrator must submit the valid FAA Part 145 Repair Station certification(s) of the subcontractor(s) who will be performing the actual repair work. The proposal must clearly identify the proposed certified subcontractor and demonstrate a formal relationship.

The Prime Contractor is ultimately responsible for ensuring its proposed subcontractors meet and maintain all required certifications for the work they are designated to perform.

46 Reference: Section M, Paragraph 2.2.1; Attachment 5, Paragraph 2.3 If integrators are eligible to compete for award, what is the requirement for integrators to submit their subcontractor's FAA Part 145 Repair Station certification to demonstrate technical acceptability? Subcontractors/partnerships can be used for the requirements of the 145 repair station. The prime would be responsible for all documentation and any capability requirements.

IAW PWS Sections 18.1, 18.2.C.1, and 29.1 47 Reference: Section M, Paragraphs 1.1 and 2.0 Will the Government consider relevant prior performance on KC-46 Initial Spares and Support Equipment IDIQs as evidence of technical capability, or is FAA Part 145 certification the sole technical acceptability criterion? The FAA Part 145 certification documentation is the sole technical acceptable critera.

IAW PWS 1.3(b) The Contractor shall provide proof of their FAA certification at the basic contract level and at the time of all orders to determine Contractor has met specific FAA requirements.

IAW Exhibit A, CDRL A011 DESTRUCTION NOTICE: For classified documents, follow the procedures IAW DoD 5220.22-M, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), Section 5-705, and DoDM 5200.01 Vol 3, DoD Information Security Program: Protection of Classified Information, Enclosure 3, paragraph 17. For unclassified, destroy by any method that will prevent disclosure of contents or reconstruction of the document IAW DoDI 5230.24 Enclosure 3, Paragraph 17.

50 Reference: Exhibit A, CDRL A008; Attachment 3 (CAV AF Requirements) CDRL A008 (CAV AF Reporting) requires reporting "daily and/or within 24 hrs." For a strategic contract with potentially high transaction volume, will the Government provide an API or batch-upload capability for CAV AF to support efficient data submission? No, the USG will not provide API or batch-upload capability.

IAW Exhibit A CDRL A008 and attachemnt 3 para 1 Contractor shall ensure asset record in CAV AF is an accurate reflection of physical assets on hand at all times. This shall be accomplished via CAV AF reporting daily and/or within one (1) business day of a maintenance action occurrence IAW the applicable CAV AF CDRL. Timely reporting means compliance with 24 hour requirement for all contractor CAV AF reporting of maintenance transactions.

IAW Attachment 3 Contractor shall be fully responsible to ensure all corresponding CAV AF reporting actions associated with disposition occur within one (1) business day of related shipment action 51 Reference: PWS Section 24.0, Table 24-1 (SS-4); Attachment 4 (QASP), Table 3.2 Table 24-1 (SS-4) and the QASP establish a performance standard requiring 100% of all end items to be returned to the Government IAW the contractual delivery schedule. Given potential OEM delays and supply chain disruptions beyond the Contractor's control, will the Government consider revising this to a measurement of On-Time-Fill Percentage (e.g., 95%) to establish an achievable performance standard? In the event a part requires more than 30 days it will be evaluated on a case by case basis with modifications to individual FOPRs, however, a 30-day TAT is the expected benchmark.

IAW PWS Seciton 1.1 The 448 SCMW requires no greater than 30-day exchange of an unserviceable asset for a serviceable asset with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified serviceable tag 8130-3 or Certificate of Conformance (CoC). The 30-day exchange time starts when contractor receives unserviceable item and ends when the contractor has provided shipping document of the serviceable asset in transit back to the 448 SCMW. These parts can be new, overhauled, or repaired parts that will come with a standard industry warranty.

The Government will not be adding a separate reimbursable CLIN for shipping, nor will it provide a mechanism to adjust for significant shipping rate variances.

Bidders are responsible for including all anticipated transportation and shipping costs for worldwide supply support within their proposed FFP for each repair and exchange CLIN. The offered price must be all-encompassing for the life of the individual FOPR from award to completion of that order.

No, the governement will not create a separate CLIN for shipping costs as CAV AF will be utilized for shipping labels with the use of USAF TAC. IAW Attachment 3 CAVAF Requirements.

54 Reference: Attachment 5, Paragraph 5.5.1 Attachment 5, Paragraph 5.5.1 reserves the Government's right to off-ramp contractors who fail to maintain part-specific FAA certification. If a Prime Contractor's subcontractor loses FAA certification for a specific NSN, will the Prime be off-ramped for that specific part only, or does the loss of certification jeopardize eligibility for the entire contract? Subcontractors/partnerships can be used for the requirements of the 145 repair station. The prime would be responsible for all documentation and and any capability requirements. If the subcontractor loses its certification the Prime is still eligible for the contract as a whole but no longer the specific assets the sub was handling.

IAW PWS 1.3(b) (b) The Contractor shall provide proof of their FAA certification at the basic contract level and at the time of all orders to determine Contractor has met specific FAA requirements
