PWS 5.13.5 Management of GFP states “The Government will provide the Contractor with an inventory of all GFP at the time of contract award, as listed in Enclosure 2, TH-57 Government Furnished Property. Material condition and quantities listed are subject to fleet usage and thus variation to actual inventory will occur. The stock-level objective (high-limits) established in Enclosure 2, TH-57 Government Furnished Equipment is based on the current inventory. The Contractor shall conduct an in-depth analysis of the Government furnished inventory and make adjustments to maximize the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the inventory and deliver such adjustments IAW Status of GFE Report (CDRL A020). The

Contractor shall not utilize any Government property for purposes other than those authorized under this contract. The PA shall be notified of net changes to the total value of the inventory which exceed $5,000.00”.

There are no stock levels listed in Enclosure 2 (Attachment 8 Government

Furnished Property List). The first worksheet titled GP has a column for

“Max Stock Level1”, however the column is blank. Will an updated

Enclosure 2 (Attachment 8) be posted with the max stock levels for

IMRL/Non-IMRL equipment, parts, materials P/N and NSN (consumable and repairable) listed?

The estimated stocking levels are maintained in WECMS.

There is a Material Usage report in WECMS that lists all of the estimated stocking levels.

Reference H-1 Performance Measurement Framework (PMF), Sustainment Metric (UM). Would the Government please provide by

BUNO the remaining service life of each aircraft and also the most recent

FAST report

The TH-57 is not SLEP limited; and therefore, there is no

FAST report on the TH-57. To review the number of hours and landings expended per BUNO, please review A028 in the competition library.

While Section CXX12 Identifies PAWS 5.3 as applicable, Section B does not identify an associated SLIN. Is Component Repair and Overhaul otherwise included in another Section B SLIN.

As referenced in C-2 of the RFP, CLIN XX01, CLIN XX03, CLIN XX06, CLIN XX07, CLIN XX08, CLIN XX12, and

CLIN XX18 to some degree, apply to Component Repair and

Overhaul.

PWS section 5.6.4 concerns Daily, Turnaround and Post-Flight

Inspections where sections 5.6.4.1, 5.6.4.2, 5.6.4.3 and 5.6.4.4 deal with functions that logically fall into the Daily, Turnaround and Post-Flight

Inspection category; however, 5.6.4.5 through the completion of section

5.6.4 at 5.6.4.5.6 address the use of miscellaneous material. Please advise if the section will be renumbered.

This section will be renumbered. Please continue to monitor

FedBizOpps for applicable Amendments.

Is the Individual Parts Master Schedule (IPMS) requirement in PWS paragraph 5.13.9 referring to the Standard Form 1428, Inventory Disposal

Schedule referenced in FAR 5.245-1? If not, will a definition of IPMS and a publication reference be provided?

In PWS Para. 5.13.9, the reference to IPMS should be changed to reference Standard Form 1428. Please continue to monitor FedBizOpps for applicable Amendments.

PWS 10.1 For Official Government Use Only – States that contractor personnel shall be subject to a Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to ―For Official Government Use

Only information at the appropriate level. The Contractor shall ensure any new employees, prior to their starting on the task, have and maintain a minimum of DoD National Agency Check (NAC), or be able to obtain the interim equivalent during the period of performance, in order to perform the work assigned and access the facilities required to perform the work.

There are no interim NAC issued. The company conducts background checks on all new hire candidates. Once cleared, the employ is hired and a

NAC request is made. (They have to be an employee for the request to be made). The NAC processing time is long. May we bring the NAC applicants on contract on a contingency basis awaiting the outcome of the

NAC?

Contractors undergoing a DoD National Agency Check may access NAS Whiting Field via Rapid Gate to perform maintenance and/or assigned work duties. However these individuals may not have access to NMCI computers until they have obtained a DoD NAC clearance. If the employee has recently held a CAC Card, the turnaround time for a new card should be approximately 1 - 14 days. If it is a new employee who has never had a CAC Card or security clearance, the turnaround time should be approximately 6 to 8 weeks.

Industry Questions and Government Responses issued on 22 May, Question 34, asked where the SE Depot level maintenance was being performed. The answer provided indicated that it was being done at NAS

Pensacola. PWS 5.2.1 States that the contractor will perform all O and D-

Level maintenance. Will the PWS be amended to reflect that the contractor will perform O-Level vice D-Level maintenance since it is being performed at NAS Pensacola?

The PWS will have the reference to Depot level maintenance for SE Equipment in PWS 5.2.1 removed. The contractor is not expected to perform Depot level maintenance for SE equipment. Please continue to monitor FedBizOpps for applicable Amendments.

REFERENCE: RFP, Section F,– Deliveries or Performance.

DISCUSSION: There are no Period of Performance dates for the Base and

Option Periods. QUESTION: Would the Government provide the Period of Performance dates for the Base and Option Periods?

The term of the Base is 12 months beginning with a one month Transition Phase-In Period followed by an 11 month

Base Full Performance Period at the applicable prices and fully burdened hourly rates specified in Section B (CLINs

00XX) of this contract. Each option period there after will have a period of performance for 12 months.

REFERENCE: RFP, Section B, paragraph B-3.4 - CLINs XX08 and

XX12. DISCUSSION: The referenced RFP section states: “The

Government has estimated 65,000 Labor Hours on CLIN XX08 to allow the prime contractor to perform its own Depot Conditional Maintenance if it chooses. If so chosen, the estimated quantity of CLIN XX12 will be decremented by the extended cost (number of Labor Hours * unit price) outsourced to the Subcontractor.” The intent of this paragraph seems unclear in that CLIN XX12 reflects subcontracted costs, and decrementing the costs of CLIN XX12 for the amount outsourced to the Subcontractor seems inappropriate. QUESTION: Suggest the last sentence of the paragraph be changed to read: “If the prime contractor chooses to self-perform Depot Conditional Maintenance, the estimated quantity of CLIN

XX12 will be decremented by the extended cost (number of Labor Hours * unit price) self-performed by the prime contractor under CLIN XX08.”

The second sentence in Section B, paragraph B-3.4, will be changed to "If the prime contractor chooses to self-perform

Depot Conditional Maintenance, the estimated quantity of

CLIN XX12 will be decremented by the extended cost

(number of Labor Hours * unit price) self-performed by the prime contractor under CLIN XX08.” Please continue to monitor FedBizOpps for applicable Amendments.

XX09, as stated in Section C-2 of the RFP.

REFERENCE: RFP, Section H-1, paragraph 7. 7. Sustainment Metric

(UM) Calculations For PMF. The Contractor shall use Service Life

Maintenance Management (SLMM) to proactively manage the life cycle of each airframe to sustain the fleet as a whole. 7.1. SLMM calculation measures the Contractor’s ability to level load the flight hour demands across all available assets by type/model/series (T/M/S). Aircraft involved in a Class A or Class B mishap or aircraft undergoing a modification of greater than 250 man hours will be excused from the SLMM calculation as determined by the ACO.

DISCUSSION: Aircraft are in ACI for approximately 2/3 of a quarterly evaluation period, and are taken out of Ready Reporting Status by submission of the X-Ray report as required in the PWS. QUESTION: Is it the Government’s intent that aircraft in ACI be included in the sustainment calculation?

It is the Government's intent that aircraft in ACI be included in the sustainment calculation.

Background: PWS 5.16.3.2 requires that the contractor meet the requirements of the station pollution prevention, waste minimization and energy conservation programs IAW Enclosure 3, Applicable Documents.

The reference in Enclosure 3 is NASWFINST 5090.7A. The TH-57 competition Library contains parts 1 through 5. Part 3 indicates that it is corrupt when attempting to open the file.

Enclosure NASWFINST 5090.7A on the competition library was corrupted and has been replaced.

Background: PWS 7.3.11 Forms – States that the Government will inform the Contractor of the source for procurement of Government unique forms required for this contract IAW Enclosure 3, Applicable Documents. There is no reference listed

Question: Will the Government provide the source for procurement of

Government unique forms required for this contract?

Ordering isn't required for most forms, because most of the forms are available on line and can be printed.

The following government unique forms must be ordered through the Supply System:

- Standard Form 44

- VIDS-MAF OPNAV 4790-60

- DD FORM 1348-6PT

- OPNAV 4790/51 SE History Card

- OPNAV 4790/52 SE Pre-Op Cards

- OPNAV 4790-141 A Sheets

Can Organization charts use 10 Point font as called out for graphs? It is acceptable for organization charts to use 10 pt font as specified for graphs.

L-2.0 calls our 2 electronic copies to PCO and Section 2.1.1 calls out 5 copies?

The number of electronic copies requested in Section L Part A paragraph 2.0 is incorrect and should read five complete electronic copies, consistent with Section L Part A paragraph

2.1.1.

Would the Government describe how the Maintenance Data is being captured at Whiting Field? If NALCOMIS is not being used is Whiting

Field key punching data from VIDS/MAF into an MDS System?

The maintenance data required by the Government is acquired via CDRLS. Incumbent contractors have had their own

Maintenance Information System (MIS) to capture the necessary data for the CDRLS. The Government plans to utilize NALCOMIS/OOMA by award of this contract.
