ASM Aerial Supervision Module Lead Plane Aircraft

Added: Mar 18, 2015 3:36 pm The Government plans to award Firm Fixed Price type contract(s), with fixed-price rates for the dry lease of aircraft and flight hours used. The number of flight hours is dependent upon the amount of wild land fire and other related activities each year, which makes estimating the total overall contract quantity of flight hours difficult to predict. Many variables determine the severity and the length of fire seasons, including weather and local or regional long-term climate trends such as droughts or unusually wet periods. Two to four hundred (200-400) flight hours are estimated annually. However, this estimate IS NOT A REPRESENTATION OR A GUARANTEE to an offeror or Contractor that the estimated flight hour quantities will be incurred, or those conditions affecting requirements will be stable or normal. The Government requires that all aircraft are of the same make/model/series as defined for each CLIN's performance requirements, for this acquisition.

This acquisition is for a minimum of 10 and up to a maximum of 15 aircraft (over the life of the contract) to be rented on a dry lease basis, with contractor provided maintenance and insurance, available for the exclusive use by Government pilots for wild land fire missions and other administrative activities. The daily rate is to accommodate payment flexibility for inconsistent days in a month or in a year.

All aircraft under the resultant contract shall be ready for delivery on JULY 01, 2015 to the US Forest Service. Delivery will occur at the Contractor's base of operations or other mutually agreed upon location.

This solicitation is for the dry lease (aircraft only, without fuel, crews, or pilots) of a minimum of TEN (10) aircraft. One award of all three Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN's) or multiple awards of the individual CLIN's (one for each CLIN or combination of CLIN's) may be made.
