(iii) Required Schedule: The re production facilities, OPSEC -Service Locations for 24 hours a week at each location for one year. The FSR is required to provide technical support that includes technical assistance and advice, technical data collection and reporting, troubleshooting, and repairing of engines.

(iv) Alternatives: In order to compete this requirement, new sources would have to be given sufficient time to submit and negotiate proposals in order to be awarded a competitive contract to perform the required FSR supporttechnical services. If competition was pursued, the amount of time before onsite FSR support would occur is estimated to be 12 months. The additional time can be attributed to the period associated with preparing and issuing a competitive contract. As a result, a competitive award would occur in 3rd Quarter 2021.
