Request for Information (RFI)
NAVAIR Strategic Sourcing for Contracted Maintenance, Modification, Aircrew, and Related Services (CMMARS)
**This RFI has been posted to multiple NAICS codes. Interested businesses can provide one consolidated response**
Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has established an acquisition cell to execute the Fast Acquisition Solutions To Enable Readiness (FASTER) initiative. The FASTER acquisition cell will manage strategic sourcing contract vehicles for Contracted Maintenance, Modification, Aircrew and Related Services (CMMARS).
The CMMARS contract vehicles will be used by several Government entities such as Naval Fleet activities, NAVAIR Program Offices, and supporting competencies.
Non-Navy customers will also be able to use the established contract vehicles. The FASTER acquisition cell will support Government customers in the development of RFPs, conduct of source selections, retention and use of lessons learned, use of standard CLS tools and processes, and support for customers in the management of contract execution. FASTER has two primary goals, improving the quality of contracted services and shortening the time to award.
This is the first Request for Information (RFI) regarding the FASTER Strategic Sourcing CMMARS initiative. NAVAIR is requesting information that will be used for planning purposes to determine if NAVAIR Strategic Sourcing for CMMARS is warranted and if so, in what manner.
Both large and small businesses are encouraged to respond.
The Government intends for the NAVAIR Strategic Sourcing for CMMARS to be a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) for Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) requirements. The services provided under this contract will be divided into small and unrestricted business pools based on criteria established during the requirements definition period. Contracts awarded at the MAC level may be based on Past Performance, Corporate Experience, Technical and Cost/Price (order of importance to be determined with the RFP). Task order awards may be made based on Technical approach, Cost/Price, and other factors as appropriate. The Government intends to use a combination of source selection approaches including best value tradeoff and lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA).
The CMMARS multiple award contract and associated task orders will be used to procure Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for maintenance, modification, aircrew and related services for aviation platforms and associated equipment.
Additionally, CMMARS will be used for heavy depot maintenance requirements and workload to augment the Organic capabilities of the Depots. Currently, this work is done on numerous platform CLS contracts totaling an annual procurement value of between $1B and $2B.
NAVAIR is considering the use of Strategic Sourcing in an effort to mitigate the current industry trends that are creating adverse impacts on fleet operations. The adverse trends include unrealistic proposals, unrealistic margins, poor readiness, and declining quality of service to the Fleet.
The Government intends to closely monitor contractor performance of the task orders awarded. If a contractor fails to meet all contract requirements they may be removed from the task order pool using a process called “off rampingâ€.
On-Ramping will also be used to maintain a consistent level of competition within the established pool.
The Government plans to award CMMARS under the following North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes: 488190: Aircraft ferrying services, aircraft inspection services, aircraft maintenance and repair services (except factory conversion, factory overhaul, factory rebuilding), aircraft testing services, fueling aircraft on a contract or fee basis, independent pilot, air (except owner-operators), inspection services, aircraft testing services; NAICS Code 336411: Aircraft Manufacturing (manufacturing or assembling complete aircraft; developing and making aircraft prototypes; aircraft conversion (i.e., major modifications to systems); and complete aircraft overhaul and rebuilding (i.e., periodic restoration of aircraft to approved design specifications); NAICS Code 336412: Aircraft engine repair/overhaul, Aircraft engine rebuilding; and NAICS Code 336413: Aircraft Propeller repair/overhaul and Aircraft Landing Gear repair/overhaul.
The prospective CMMARS platforms, systems, and support contracts with notional task award years, may include the following, but not limited to:
Platform/System Service PMA Current Contract No.

The Government intends to allow award of firm-fixed-price, time and materials, cost reimbursement, and cost-plus-incentive-fee task orders under the NAVAIR Strategic Sourcing for CMMARS contract. The contract type will be determined at the individual task order and CLIN levels.
The Government intends to have offerors compete for a “bucket†of work (the bucket of work may be awarded in one or many task orders), limited to duration of approximately five years that will be executed over one or many task orders.
Funds may be obligated and de-obligated as required to meet Government requirements and funding constraints to meet the Fleet’s Operational Tempo and existing constraints (i.e., facilities, GFP, etc.)
The Government intends for the ordering period for the NAVAIR Strategic Sourcing CMMARS contract to be approximately five (5) years with options for additional one year ordering periods. Any valid order placed may have an allowable duration of five years or till the end of the contract, whichever is shorter. The resultant contract instrument is thus set for 10-year duration. The period of performance or performance delivery dates for task orders will be determined at the individual task order level.
The Government may use minimum fee provisions for cost reimbursement, fixed price, incentive fee, and time and material task orders.
The Government may use maximum fee for pass-through for unrestricted pool participants. Any offeror proposing fee below the minimum may be considered an unacceptable performance risk to the Government and the offerors proposal may be considered deficient and therefore eliminated from a task order competition.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Government will not award a contract on the basis of this RFI and will not reimburse or to otherwise pay for any information received. This RFI is issued for the purpose of encouraging communication and exchanges of information between the Government and interested parties.
