This requirement is for a solicitation and competitive source selection under Full and Open Competition for F-16 Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) Depot Services Support. For efficiency of PACAF resources support, an overseas place of performance (depot facility) must be specified within either the 5th AF or 7th AF Area of Responsibility (Either Korea or Japan). No set-aside is contemplated but NAICS Code 336411 applies. A 5 year, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) ordering contract is contemplated. The total period of ordering for the proposed contract in the base period is from 01 Oct 2012 through 30 Sep 2017 (FY17). The five (5) 12-month periods within this timeframe are described on separately priced line items to accommodate applicable annual Operation and Maintenance (O&M) appropriations. A single option, describing a period of 6 months of support will also be priced and evaluated to support contingency if the next anticipated round or follow-on source selection for this requirement is delayed, (see the FAR clause at 52.217-8, which will be included). This program defines core Depot Maintenance (scheduled) activities which will be Firm Fixed Price (FFP) the intent of which is to provide a facility for induction and strip and paint maintenance of aircraft currently in service with operational units at Osan AB, Kunsan AB (Korea) Eilson, AK and Yokota AB (Japan). For unanticipated Over and Above work which cannot be priced in advance, a Fixed Rate agreement, including a single fully loaded composite (wrap) rate, (shop rate) will be priced to apply through the life of the contract. Drop-in maintenance, including but not limited to implementation of the latest F-16 Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO) for wing inspection and repair and future TCTO implementation, Contractor Field Team (CFT) support, and some lesser modification efforts, e.g., FS 341 lower bulkhead repair or replacement, will also be priced and utilized within the scope of this contract as required. Technical proposals will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. Schedule impacts and costs incurred by the PACAF as a result of distance and other factors derived from the actual location of the proposed facility and its proximity to the operational bases will be evaluated. Schedule "flow days" (efficiency) will be evaluated within an overall technical risk assessment. Price will also be evaluated. Trade-offs for the risk assessment and for an evaluation of past performance may be applied. In other words, the Air Force might be willing to pay more than the lowest evaluated price for a price and an offer that has a more favorable Technical Risk rating. Similarly, the Air Force might be willing to pay more than the lowest evaluated price for a price and an offer that has a more favorable past performance rating.

This prospective effort is to be priced, evaluated and paid by the Government in U.S. Dollars. Site surveys to assess capability at proposed sites may be conducted.
