Description:

It is anticipated that this solicitation will result in a multiple-award, five-year IDIQ. The Air Force has 40 units to divide between the awardees for the first task order. The Government anticipates that the minimum guarantee will be 13 assets divided among three awardees. If there are less awardees, the number of assets on the first task order will increase.

The Government plans to have ordering procedures that provide for the most fluid supply of assets. They are attached to this synopsis for early evaluation.

The line item structure is changing on this requirement from previous awards. The resulting contracts are anticipated to include a TT&E line item that all assets would pass through. Any No Fault Found or Beyond Economic Repair identified in this process would be returned at this point. All remaining assets would then flow through the repair line item. A draft PWS is attached to help explain this better.

Task orders under this contract must run concurrent with each other due to the nature of being a multiple award ID/IQ. For that reason, it will be necessary to review FAR clause 52.216-19 Order Limitations in the solicitation when it comes out and make sure that it contains the appropriate capacity for your company.

Feedback to this synopsis and to the solicitation is request early and often. The terms and conditions for this requirement are not set in stone until the solicitation ends. However, once the solicitation closes, any exceptions, ground rules, or terms and conditions listed in a proposal that are in conflict with the solicitation may result in an offeror being deemed not technically acceptable.
