QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question: Is it the Government’s intent that it has no requirement for, and does not request, any back up aircraft?

Answer: No, the Army requires 24/7/365 MEDEVAC coverage for FHL. The contractor must fulfill this requirement while adhering to all standards, regulations, law and contract requirements.

Question: At the same time, is it the Government’s intent the offeror will have no lapse in service from the dedicated aircraft?

Answer: Yes, the Army requires 24/7/365 MEDEVAC services, which means there is no lapse in service allowed.

Question: Would the Government consider changing the requirement from 250 hours to 100 hours of NVG flight experience, which would be the same as the requirements for an FAA certified flight instructor.

Answer: No, the Army requires 250 hours of NVG experience, which is identified in PWS paragraph 1.2.2.2.1.2.

Question: Would the Government consider changing the requirement to a Commercial Pilot Rating with an ATP Rating, as desirable?
