OFFEROR/Joint Venture Member)

Dear (Client):

We are currently responding to the Department of the Air Force (AF), Robins Air Base (RAFB), (RFP) FA8504-20-R-0001 for the procurement of annual C-130 Hercules Heavy Maintenance Support (HMS). The HMS support shall encompass (H)C-130H Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM), C-130J D-Check, Mid-Cycle Paint support of C-130J aircraft variants and support of Unscheduled Depot Level Maintenance (UDLM) on all United States Air Force (USAF) C-130 variants.

As you know an offeror’s past performance has become an element of increased emphasis in the AF’s acquisitions. The USAF requests that clients of companies who submit proposals in response to their RFP for the Bomber Armament Tester acquisition program be contacted, and that their participation in the validation process be requested.

We, therefore, respectfully request and hereby authorize you to complete the attached Questionnaire with regards to work we have performed for you, and email. If sending by email, the following applies:

Exchanges of source selection information between government and questionnaire respondents will be controlled by the Contracting Officer. Email may be used to transmit such information preferably with the email being sent and encrypted, and must include “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104” in the subject line of the email. In order to facilitate the sending and receiving of encrypted emails, a questionnaire respondent must use MS Outlook email configured to support encryption, or, a different email product that is S/MIME compatible and configured to support encryption. If you intend to submit your completed questionnaire via an encrypted email, you will need to contact the Buyer/Contracting Officer indicated below, prior to that first submittal, in order to exchange certificates used for encryption. To ensure the process is working correctly, send a test encrypted message first (without including any source selection information). If an offeror’s computer system cannot support encryption technology, the offeror shall send the Contracting Officer correspondence at the time that they submit their proposal stating they accept the risk of sending and receiving unencrypted electronic mail if they choose to utilize unencrypted e-mail as a channel of communication. beckie.king@us.af.mil and victor.conner.1@us.af.mil

POINT OF CONTACT]
