About this opportunity

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to procure services for 1 Air Attack Platform Configured Aircraft to support wildfire suppression and other government missions in Washington, with possible operations in Oregon and Idaho. The exclusive use aircraft must be contractor-owned and operated, available from June 15 to September 11, 2017, with four 1-year option periods. The aircraft must meet specific technical and personnel requirements, including communication and avionics systems, and pilot qualifications and duty limitations. The contractor must also comply with maintenance, security, and operational requirements. Bids are due on March 17, 2017, with the apparent successful bidder to be announced on March 22, 2017. The IFB outlines detailed pricing requirements, including daily availability rates and hourly flight rates for the base year and four option years. Additional pay items for extended standby, subsistence, and other costs are also specified.

The solicitation notes that no preference or minimum participation levels are required for minority, women-owned, or veteran-owned businesses, though their participation is encouraged. The contract will be awarded to the responsive bidder, and the Government reserves the right to terminate for default if the contractor fails to maintain required availability levels. The estimated contract value is not provided, but the IFB indicates the contract will be awarded to one or more responsive bidders.
