This is an INDUSTRY DAY ANNOUNCEMENT by Fleet Readiness Center Western Pacific (FRCWP) and NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka (FLCY) for Aviation Depot-Level Maintenance, Modification, Repair and Overhaul (MMRO) services in support of United States Marine Corps V-22 aircraft. This notice is issued solely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation. The planned industry day will serve as a market research tool, both for informing industry of United States Government (USG) requirements for these services and for determining industrys interest, awareness and capabilities for providing those services. The industry day forum will allow for networking among interested service providers and lead to USG awareness of industrys capabilities for supporting this aircraft.

FRCWP will host the Industry Day at Naval Air Facility (NAF) Atsugi on 20 Feb 2019, beginning at 9:00 AM and ending at 4:00 PM ( Place: NAF Atsugi, Trilogy).

FRCWP uses contracts with MMRO service providers to support aircraft maintenance. In general, requirements will consist of Integrated Maintenance Plan (IMP) and In-Service Repair (ISR) Depot-Level support. FRCWP is particularly interested in identifying potential service providers for its upcoming V-22 IMP and ISR support requirement. Aviation MMRO service providers will have the opportunity to learn about FRCWPs mission, to meet with contracting personnel from Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka (FLCY) and Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and to provide feedback to the Government to consider as we develop our requirements.

If questions arise during the industry day that cannot be answered in person, those answers will be published on FEDBIZOPPS after the event. There will be opportunities for Industry/Government one-on-one sessions for interested service providers. Depending on the number of companies attending, the one-on-one sessions are anticipated to be held in 60-minute intervals on the hour by appointment only.

Advance registration for this event is required. Parties interested in attending the industry day and the one-on-one sessions must submit the attached documents in your registration package via email to Mr. William Koeditz at William.Koeditz@fe.navy.mil and to Mr. Seiji Yoshino at seiji.yoshino.ja@fe.navy.mil.

Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Services for V-22 Aircraft

Fleet Readiness Center Western Pacific (FRCWP), in support of NAVAIR’s Program Manager Aviation (PMA) 275, is seeking interested contractors with significant depot-level aircraft maintenance experience to provide scheduled and unscheduled Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services for U.S. Marine Corps and Navy V-22 aircraft forward deployed to the Western Pacific region. The MRO line will be located in the contractor’s facilities. Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA) between the United States and the contractor’s host nation, as well as flight distance limitations, will be factors in the solicitation process.

The specifics of any flight distance limitations have not yet been fully determined. Therefore, all qualified and interested parties are encouraged to respond to this notice, regardless of their flight distance from the location of the aircraft.

Contractor MRO support will include the following:

1) Depot Level Maintenance

Depot-level maintenance (also known as Heavy Maintenance) tasks/actions are those requiring major overhaul or complete rebuilding, remanufacturing, or modification of aircraft structures, parts, assemblies, and end items, including support equipment in accordance with the Integrated Maintenance Plan (IMP) IMP Specification and other applicable maintenance manuals.

2) Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI) work under IMP

IMP requirements provide for airframe, systems and component inspection (through visual and Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) methods), defect correction, preventative maintenance, operational checkouts and Technical Directive compliance.

The IMP requirements for aircraft subject to this process are the minimum requirements, formulated and established to the depth required to ensure the reliability, operational availability, safe operation and airworthiness of the aircraft for the duration of the established service period.

The IMP Program will provide depot support throughout the total service life of the aircraft.

a. PMI events for V-22 will be based on the latest NAVAIR Specification.

b. The estimated Aircraft throughput is 5 – 9 aircraft per year. However, the contract type will be indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) and will not guarantee either the quantity or frequency of aircraft inductions.

c. It is anticipated that the Contractor shall be capable of supporting a nominal workload of 5 aircraft in flow, with a surge capacity to 8 aircraft in flow.

d. Aircraft inducted for PMI will be flown to the contractor’s facility.

3) In-Service Repairs (ISR)

Unscheduled maintenance requirements are those requirements, (typically identified as Depot Level Maintenance), which cannot be directly related to any scheduled requirement described herein and which are discovered as an incidental result of the following functions accomplished as a part of and during the scheduled inspection, and during squadron operational use.

a.

ISR repairs are expected to be completed either concurrently with PMI events or as standalone actions.

b. ISR repairs may require the Contractor to dispatch personnel as a contractor field service team (CFT) to perform aircraft ISR throughout the western Pacific region, and other areas as required, without impacting PMI event turn-around times (TAT).

4) Aircraft Modifications

a. Aircraft modifications (e.g. technical directives, airframe changes, etc.) shall be accomplished either concurrently with PMI events or as standalone actions.

b. The Government will provide the technical data and material required for completing modifications.

5) Customer Service

a. Customer Service requirements include Squadron Operational Level maintenance tasks performed concurrent with PMI activities when approved by the Government.

6) Engineering Support

a.

Engineering services, necessary to support the requirements of the contract, including submittal of repair procedures to be reviewed and approved by the Government.

7) Logistics Support

a. Logistics services necessary to support the requirements of the contract, including timely supply data and material requisition requests necessary for completing aircraft maintenance requirements within the established TAT. The government will procure or directly fund procurement of all material.

8) Program Management Support

a. Program Management necessary to support the requirements of the contract, including annual Program Management Reviews (PMR), weekly production meetings, Production Plans that identify the critical path to PMI completion within the established TAT.

FRCWP is considering an Industry Day in support of this requirement.

If the government decides to host an industry day, a separate announcement will be released with additional information.

9) Anticipated Facility and Airfield Requirements are provided as attachments to this announcement.

Interested companies are asked to submit any questions or comments related to the requirements described above as well as provide information on the following:

(1) Company name, point of contact, telephone numbers, e-mail address, company CAGE Code, and DUNS

(2) Approximate annual gross revenue for the past 5 years (if available).

(3) Description of the company’s ability to mobilize, manage and finance a contract of this size.

(4) Description of Government or commercial contracts for work on identical T/M/S aircraft (both as prime and sub-contractor)*

(5) If you do not have any past or current work on identical T/M/S aircraft, please describe Government or commercial contracts for similar work (either as prime or sub-contractor)*

(6) Description of your workforce skill-sets performing similar or identical T/M/S work.

(7) Description of your facilities used to perform similar or identical work.

*Please include details such as production volume, levels of maintenance performed (organizational, intermediate, or depot), facility attributes, owned tooling / equipment, workforce size and employed labor categories, etc. that demonstrate your ability to perform the work.
