Number Reference Question Response

RFQ Letter, Page 1, Paragraph 1 May we bid on domestic transports only, or are we required to complete both domestic and international flights?

Offeror may bid for domestic transports only if they do not want or have the capability to do international transports.

RFQ Letter, Page 1, Paragraph 4 Offeror’s customer is CAMTS accredited. We are their air transportation provider.

The Executive Director of CAMTS has stated we are therefore accredited because we are the air carrier for the CAMTS accredited customer. CAMTS has stated they will not accredit the air carrier unless they only perform air ambulance flights. Offeror provides other types of flights, but Offeror’s customer maintains their CAMTS accreditation due to our contract with the customer

Per the RFQ letter, Page 1 paragraph 3, "Medical crews must be accredited by the Commission on accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) and/or the National Accreditation Alliance of Medical Transport Applications (NAAMTA)." Also, per RFQ letter page 2, paragraph 6.d-f, the air carrier, would need to provide documentation that they have the agreements in place to obtain CAMTS of NAAMTA certification. As AMC/DoD is the "customer" in this situation, they will not be providing CAMTs or NAAMTA accreditation; therefore, the prime contractor must be able to provide the accreditation, either through their services or partnering with another company. If the carrier owns the aircraft and partners with a CAMTS/NAAMTA certified medical team, this would be acceptable. This documentation showing accreditation needs to be submitted prior to award.

RFQ Letter, Page 2, Paragraph 6 What is the current due date for proposal submittals? The RFQ letter states July 15, 2022; the Synopsis states “…on or about July 8, 2022.

The RFQ letter is correct. Per the RFQ Letter Page 2, Paragraph 6, the due date for submission is 11:59 AM (CT) on 15 July 2022. .

I have heard that there is an industry day coming up in the early part of July. Would you please confirm this and point me to how interested parties may register?

USTRANSCOM/AMC does not intend to hold an industry day for this acquisition.
