Aircraft and Aerospace Ground Equipment Wash Services

This is not a request for a quote, proposal or an invitation for bid, but is intended to serve as a PRE-SOLICITATION SYNOPSIS ONLY. The solicitation will be available on or around 05 August 2016 at https://www.neco.navy.mil.



The proposed contract is a performance-based acquisition for the contractor to provide all labor, management, supervision, tools, material, and equipment required to provide Aircraft, Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) and Support Equipment (SE) wash services. The intent of this solicitation is to provide a contracted wash team and labor force with the appropriate skills and certifications to ensure a quality Aircraft wash, lubrication and washing of AGE and SE for the 36th Maintenance Group at Andersen Air Force Base Guam.

The outcomes of this acquisition are consistent with the FAR 37.101 definition of service contracts.



This will be a combination Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The contract will include a one year base period with a provision for four (4) 12-month option periods.



The contract will be procured using negotiated procedures, as it has been determined in accordance with FAR 6.401 to be the most appropriate method of contracting for the subject requirement. The proposed acquisition is set-aside 100% for small business concerns; the Government will only accept offers from eligible small business firms. The NAICS code for this procurement is 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), which has a small business size standard of $32.5 million.



Market research was performed in accordance with FAR 10.002(b)(2).

A sources sought notice was posted to the Navy Electronic Commerce Online (NECO) website on 15 May 2016 (N4019216R7011) to determine availability and capability of businesses to perform the requirement. One large business and one small business concern responded and expressed interest.



In addition, a search in the Small Business Administration (SBA) Dynamic Business database returned several small businesses under the NAICS 488192. As a result of the notice and other market research, the Contracting Officer recommended soliciting as a 100% small business set-aside. The NAVFAC Marianas small business specialist and the SBA procurement center concur with the set-aside determination. Pursuant to the above, the proposed Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued as 100% small business set-aside.
