Competition Library. a. There is no T-34 or T-44 data bidder can use for manpower analysis. Please provide T-34 and T-44 workload data for each MOD and each satellite site.

The Government assumes "MOD" was a typograhical error and the acronym

"MOB" was intended. The only maintenance history available to the

Government is located on the Competition Library under the T34 Page, Aircraft

Data Tab. The file names are: "T34_44 Maintenance Requirements Sample

Data Jan 2014"; "T-34 and T-44 MCB Analysis Final Report Appendix A-C-

20100427," "T-34 and T-44 MCB Analysis Final Report-20100427" and "T-34 T-

44 O and A Summary Analysis." This data, along with the maintenance publications and T-6 historical maintenance data, was utilized to develop the independent Government estimate of the manning requirements. The

Government intends to load a copy of the Government estimate to the competition library on 17 Feb 2014. This data will be provided for guidance only. The acceptability and degree of risk of the offeror's manning will be based on the overall proposed technical approach and substantiation. The

Government intends to host a teleconference on 18 Feb 2014 to walk potential offerors through the process used to develop the Government manning estimate. Additional information regarding this teleconference will be posted to

FedBizOpps.

Competition Library. b. Please provide updated information for the T34 divestiture tables and the

T-6 standup tables so bidders can use the most current projections in staffing determinations.

Updated T-34 divestiture and T-6 delivery schedules were uploaded to the competition library in December 2013 and again on 28 January 2014 at the following location: T-34 page, Aircraft Data tab.

Competition Library. c. The T-6B maintenance data for NASWF is difficult to assess unless the information is associated with a number of aircraft. Please provide by month the number of T-6B aircraft that were on site for FY10, FY11, FY12, FY13, and FY14 to date with the associated maintenance data. This will also entail updating the maintenance data in the AV-3M and T-6A and

T-6B maintenance data XX years Excel spreadsheets.

This data has been uploaded to the Competition Library on the T-6 Page under the AV3M Tab. They contain the tail numbers and associated data for each month of FY10-FY14. Data was uploaded for all three sites. Titles of files are:

"Maint 5 ATQA Pensacola 1OCT09-5 Feb14", "Maint 5 ATQB Whiting Field

1OCT09-5 Feb14" and"Maint 5 ATQB Corpus Christi 1OCT09-5 Feb14".

Information regarding flight hours and historical maintenance for NAS Fallon is provided in the competition library on the T-34 page, under the Aircraft Data tab; the file is titled "Fallon_Estimated Historical T-34_24july2012.". Offerors are responsible for determining numbers and skill levels.

PWS Pg. 9 para 5.1.4.1 states” The first 25 man-hours per aircraft per newly issued and proposed

TDs, IOSs and MEDs shall be covered by fixed aircraft maintenance.” PWS Pg 40, para 5.18.2.1.1 states “The first 25 man-hours per aircraft per each newly issued and proposed TD, IOS and MEDs shall be covered by fixed aircraft maintenance.

RFP Attachment L-8 CLINs 0X14, 0X31, and 0X45 shows SLINS for Detachment

Mobilization/Demobilization. a. Please define the elements of this SLIN. b.Please clarify how the estimated quantities are associated with the actual detachment SLINs. For example, the quantity for SLIN 0014AC (2) matches the quantities for 0014AA(1) and AB (1). The quantities for SLIN

0031AF (4) does not match The sum of all SLINs 0031AA-AE (5).

The SLINs are independent of each other. The maximum number of detachments for a T-34 aircraft in the base period is 2. The maximum number of detachments for a T-44/6 aircraft for each period is 4. Therefore, a quantity of either 2 or 4 is listed for Detachment Mobilization/Demobilization SLINs. The composition of the maximum number of detachments is as ordered by the ACO.

RFP Attachment 105, CBA NASCC has an expiration date of June 24, 2012. a. Please provide the current CBA.

CBA and CBA MOU/MOA documents were updated by Amendment 0001.

RFP Section B and Attachment L-8 only provide data for T-34 satellite maintenance in the Base

Year. There is no satellite site CLIN information for the option years which does not match the

PWS requirement. Attachment 66 provided old flight hour data that needs to be updated for the new contract period of performance. Flight hour data is just one of several cell that are missing data for the satellite sites (engine and propeller overhauls, …) a. Please clarify the requirement for T-34 satellite support for the option years.

T-34 satellite site maintenance is only required in the base period. The flight hour forecast beyond FY15 will be removed from PWS Enclosure 11

(Attachment 66) by Amendment.

RFP Section B. The definitions of certain SLINs included Price Attachment L-8 are inconsistent from period to period. Please consider changing the definitions to incorporate consistency in the numbering scheme from period to period. The following changes in the SLIN structure definitions are recommended:

Beginning in OY1 the SLINs number of aircraft per month be made consistent with the Base Year definitions as follows:

Current SLIN Proposed SLIN Definition

0039AA 0039AC A/C Range 81-90 (aircraft per month)

0039AB 0039AD A/C Range 91-98 (aircraft per month)

0039AC 0039AE A/C Range 99-110 (aircraft per month)

The SLIN numbering associated with various quantities of “Sortie Days” at NAS Corpus Christi be standardized from period to period as follows:

Current SLIN Proposed SLIN Definition

0044AH 0044AH 100 Sortie day, NAS Corpus Christi

0044AH & 0044AJ 0044AJ 50 Sortie day, NAS Corpus Christi

0044AJ & 0044AK 0044AK 25 Sortie day, NAS Corpus Christi

0044AK 0044AL 10 Sortie day, NAS Corpus Christi

The referenced Section B SLIN nomenclature and quantities are intentional and correct as listed.
