2006 cessna (N17386) aircraft- TIO-540-AJ1A engine replacement & propeller overhauls

The Oregon State Police (OSP) has issued an Intermediate Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking engine replacement and propeller overhaul services for a 2006 Cessna aircraft (N17386) with a Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A engine. The project requires a qualified Aviation Mechanic to perform comprehensive maintenance services within 165 nautical miles of Salem Airport, including removing the existing engine and replacing it with a factory rebuilt engine, replacing critical accessories such as turbo, exhaust, engine mounts, magnetos, hoses, starter, alternator, and vacuum pump, and re-certifying GAMI-jectors and overhauling the propeller and governor. Proposers must comply with all Federal Aviation Administration regulations and policies, with the work to be performed by an actively certified Aviation Mechanic. The RFP closing date is October 12, 2021, with the Notice of Award anticipated around October 19, 2021. Evaluation criteria will focus on the proposer's ability to meet technical specifications, with the contract awarded to the highest-ranking Responsible Proposer based on a scoring methodology outlined in the RFP documents.

The contract opportunity includes provisions for Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach, requiring proposers to describe steps for soliciting certified minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses for potential subcontracting opportunities. Proposers must be prepared to report subcontractor identities and contract values to the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) if awarded the contract. A Responsibility Inquiry form mandates detailed disclosure of the proposer's financial resources, expertise, past performance, and any potential legal or financial challenges from the past three to five years. Proposers must confirm their licensing, insurance, and legal authorization to conduct business in Oregon. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the Price Proposal Form indicates that pricing must incorporate all labor and materials, with a preference for Oregon goods and services and recycled materials. The state will give consideration to proposers offering competitive pricing, though the award will not automatically go to the lowest-cost bidder.
