The procurement will support the 575 AMXS T-38 workload and requires a contractor to provide skilled labor for depot maintenance operations involving specialized equipment such as wing sleds, dollies, and transport sleds. The government is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources and assess the feasibility of a total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 811310. Interested parties must respond by January 16, 2024, and provide details about their business status, capabilities, past performance, and potential teaming arrangements. The evaluation will focus on companies' ability to meet the Minimum Team Complement of 8 contractor personnel and demonstrate relevant experience in equipment maintenance and support.

The procurement is specifically targeted at small businesses, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The proposed contract will be a single-award, Firm Fixed Price service contract with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, aligned with a size standard of $12 Million. The Minimum Team Complement requires one supervisor, one lead mechanic, and six ground support equipment mechanics working day shift from 0530-1600 hours. Contractors must be prepared to provide all necessary training and personal protective equipment, and demonstrate capabilities in electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics, and corrosion control. The contract includes provisions for surge capacity up to 125% and potential workload reductions up to 25%, offering flexibility in staffing and service delivery.
