The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Transatlantic Division, Middle East District (TAM), is seeking to award a new, fully competed, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to provide support to the Chaparral, Hawk, TOW, Stinger and Sparrow Missiles in Egypt. The support includes maintenance, repair and the spare parts needed to affect this support for the equipment and material referenced in Appendix A. No support is being provided directly to the missile systems themselves.

1. REQUIREMENT:

a. The selected Contractor shall provide a properly sized maintenance organization and workforce to successfully accomplish the maintenance and repair actions required.

b. This includes both U.S. and local/in-country based staff to promptly and efficiently provide the services required.

c. The selected Contractor shall conduct an initial inspection of all items listed in Appendix A sixty days after receipt of the contract award. Following completion of this initial inspection the Contractor shall submit a report of their findings in which they will list the items inspected, their condition, whether they are operational, and the spare parts and maintenance/repair actions required to correct any deficiency or issue. This report is to be submitted within 15 calendar days of inspection completion to the Contracting Officer and the Program Manager. The Contractor’s representatives shall also brief the Egyptian Air Defense staff and the Corps of Engineers in-country Contracting Officer Representative of their findings immediately following the inspection.

d. The initial inspection report shall be reviewed by the Government of Egypt and the U.S.

As part of the bi-weekly inspections the Contractor shall perform routine maintenance that can be accomplished using the spare parts on site (see below). Items that are found to be in need of immediate action, and cannot wait for the Monthly Report, shall be forwarded to the Contracting Officer within two calendar days of observance.

f. This Monthly Inspection Report will be used to develop contract actions and direction to the selected Contractor to correct the deficiencies/issues and bring the items back to full operating condition. This will also be funded from the Not-To-Exceed CLIN 0004.

g. In addition to the above, the selected Contractor shall respond within 24 hours of all urgent calls from the Host Nation or the local Corps of Engineers Contracting Officer’s Representative.

Spare parts required will be purchased depending upon availability of funds under Not-To-Exceed CLIN 0002.
