2 RFP, COMNAVAIRFORINST

4790.2

3.3.1.1, M.III.B and 4790.2 3.1.1.3

The RFP states that "the Contractor shall perform DLM functions, alongside Government civilian and military personnel, that consist of the rework of existing aviation end items, systems, and components, which include maintenance and modification functions; manufacture of items and component parts otherwise not available; in-service repair, disassembly and all other categories of aircraft DLM." COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2D states in para 3.1.1.3 D-Level Maintenance and Rework: D-level maintenance and rework is performed by designated depot activities on aircraft,equipment and material requiring overhaul, upgrading, or rebuilding of parts, assemblies,subassemblies, and end items, including manufacture, modification, testing, and reclamation of parts.

Q: Can the goverment please clarify the definition of aviation end item and how that definition relates to Section M relevancy criteria as it applies to depot level maintenance on aircraft and other aviation end items such as the rework and repair of engines, SE and components?

The Government defines an END ITEM as a final combination of end articles, component parts and materials ready for its intended use, for example, aircraft, NC-2A, or avionics test bench. This definition does apply to the rework of engines, SE and other components.

3 DLM Attachment L-4 - Vol 4

CS-1

Tabl entitled "Instructions", Row 3, Item 2

Tab entitled "Cost Summary Spreadsheet", Rows 9 -13 Solicitation, Section 4.3

Price/Cost Information, Page 99 of 114

The Instructions Tab, Row 3, Item 2 states "Enter all prime employee names in Column A (starting at row 9) If necessary, insert additional rows--but ensure integrity of formulas.

Likewise, the Cost Summary Spreadsheet, Rows 9-13 instructs the offeror to insert "Prime Contractor Direct Labor, Employee Name 1, Employee Name 1 (OT), etc."

Due to the anticipated 400+ personnel rows and associated names to be inserted, we request the Goverment remove the requirement to "[e]nter all prime employee names" as unduly restrictive of competition.

The Government intends to amend the L-4 attachment. However, names of key personel must be entered in the attachment. Please monitor SAM.gov for revisions to the RFP and its attachments.
