(3) AEROMEDICAL. Aircraft currently eligible for allocation must be B-767 extended range (ER) for the international aeromedical requirement and meet the communication and navigation system requirements specified for long-range international aircraft.

(4) DOMESTIC.

a. Cargo aircraft selected for allocations are medium-range aircraft, capable of flying a distance of 1,500 nautical miles non-stop, while carrying a minimum payload of 32,000 pounds. All aircraft must be capable of accommodating 108" x 88" (standard military) 463L compatible pallets. However, upon the discretion of the CRAF Program Management Office, aircraft not 463L pallet compatible may be acceptable for CRAF when there is a shortage of 463L compatible aircraft. Contractors possessing both 463L pallet compatible and non-compatible aircraft must offer all compatible aircraft ahead of non-compatible aircraft to fulfill the minimum 15% requirement. Contractors possessing only non-compatible aircraft will be required to commit the same minimum 15% of their aircraft. Minimum ACL remains at 32,000 lbs. To the extent the Contractor fails to transport the guaranteed ACL as a result of the items being of such bulk as to utilize all available space on the aircraft, the Contractor shall be considered as having satisfied the minimum ACL and the provisions of SECTION H, paragraph 11 entitled in part “CONTRACTOR’S FAILURE TO PROVIDE SERVICE, ALTERNATE I”, shall not apply.

b. Passenger aircraft selected for allocations are medium-range aircraft, capable of flying a distance of 1,500 nautical miles non-stop, while carrying a minimum of 75 passengers with a payload of 30,000 pounds. In some circumstances, take-off performance may be limited by high temperature and resulting high density altitude. In these cases, the available ACL may be less than the minimum listed above. This may be allowable, provided the ACO is notified of the required capability at least six (6) hours prior to scheduled departure, to allow for proper load planning.

EVALUATION OF OFFERS FOR MINIMUM GUARANTEE (FIXED AWARD)

M-4. DETERMINING INTERNATIONAL AWARD ENTITLEMENT FOR THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE

(FIXED AWARD)

a. Long-range and short-range mobilization points will be computed separately. Missions less than 2350NM will be awarded as short-range entitlement with the following exceptions. Short-range missions requiring long-range aircraft will be awarded using long-range entitlement. Long-range missions requiring short-range aircraft will be awarded using short-range entitlement.

b. Negotiations will take into consideration factors serving the best interests of the Government and the Commander’s intent to utilize modern, fuel efficient aircraft to the maximum extent possible while still meeting the contractor’s entitlement. Several examples: Contractors offering to perform USTRANSCOM peacetime business only during off peak commercial seasons (i.e. passenger services only between September through May), offering only on specific routes considered to be prime business, or offering only on one-ways, may not be awarded business or may only be awarded a portion of such business.

c. Each offeror's total entitlement will be computed by adding its total mobilization points for long-range and/or total mobilization points for short-range. An offeror's mobilization points will be prorated by category multiplying the percent of business in each category by a contractor's total points. Award percentages are established based upon each contractor's category total divided by the category grand total. Each contractor must have aircraft committed to CRAF in each category it seeks to receive entitlement/business. For example, if a contractor seeks entitlement in Large Passenger, it must have aircraft committed to CRAF in that category. The percentages are then used to establish the category entitlement dollars.

d. Award Process

(1) STEP 1

Determine the percent of business in each category in relation to the total business specified in all categories.

Correction to Response

14. Other than Expansion Combi Services, is there any language/procedures within the solicitation or proposed/planned for implementation to suggest that non-Expansion Combi Services, such as Fix/Expansion Cargo Services (Large I- >=90T; Large II - <90T; Medium) or Fix/Expansion Passenger Services (Large) will be awarded initially to favor modern, fuel efficient aircraft as opposed to the legacy counterpart, i.e. 747-400 vs. 747- 100/200/300; or MD11 vs. DC10; 767-200 vs. DC8. If so, where and how is that outlined. Additionally other than Para. M-5-e-6-ii (Page M-12) outlining Flyer Bonus Award (x.75 vs. x.25), are there any other 'incentives' in the solicitation or planned/proposed for implementation.

Answer: Paragraph H-17b and paragraph M-4b have been updated to identify that preference will be given to modern, fuel-efficient aircraft.

Reference paragraph H-17b and Description of Services, para 1.0, preference to modern, fuel efficient aircraft was already included in the original solicitation. Paragraph M-4b has been clarified to show consistency in our preference to modern, fuel-efficient aircraft in the fixed buy awards.
