The USG has been informed of industry concerns relative to RSAF DCS sales for the same or similar type of work as of this competition.  On 2 Feb 16, the USG received official direction from the RSAF that there will not be any further "sole source designations for future F-15 sustainment contracts. This direction requires USAF to award contracts competitively."   The USG has no control over RSAF DCS sales that are being pursued, if any.   Therefore, it is an industry business decision on where to direct energy, resources and time on proposal development.  To reiterate the USG previous posting:  Please be advised that should the USG receive official notification concerning the progression towards a DCS contract during the timeframe prior to award of a competitive effort, the USG and the Royal Saudi Air Force are not liable for any costs associated with preparation of proposals.

All questions must be submitted in writting.  No phone calls will be accepted.

The updated PWS/questions/history, etc posted on 19 Jan 16 was to update industry with the lastest PWS, questions asked and data available and is not the actual solicitation.  The solicitation will be posted after 21 Jan 16.

Additionally: 

The USG would like to provide information to all interested industry participants regarding potential Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) efforts in work. The USG is aware that there are potential Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) efforts in work that are similar in scope to our competitive efforts (Solicitations FA8505-16-R-0007and FA8505-16-R-0004). A DCS contract is a possible future state and would have impacts on the current competitive efforts being pursued. The USG is unsure of the magnitude of these DCS possibilities, and has not received any official position on this subject from the RSAF. At this time, the USG intends to continue as scheduled with the RFP. Please be advised that should the USG receive official notification concerning the progression towards a DCS contract during the timeframe prior to award of a competitive effort, the USG and the Royal Saudi Air Force are not liable for any costs associated with preparation of proposals.
