The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is soliciting a factory remanufactured or overhauled aircraft engine to replace the existing engine in a 2000 Cessna 182S N357ME aircraft owned by the department. The engine being procured must meet the Time Between Overhaul (TBO) requirements set by the manufacturer. The RFP was posted on February 23, 2024, and proposals were due by March 8, 2024. Two bidders, PAC Aviation International, Inc. and Technicacon, LLC, submitted proposals, which were evaluated by the DNR. Based on the evaluation, the DNR has recommended an award to Technicacon, LLC in the amount of $78,945.00 for a factory remanufactured engine, pending State Administrative Board approval.

Neither of the bidders was designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) or a Geographically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (GDBE). The award recommendation is based on Technicacon, LLC being the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest overall price, with their quote for a factory overhauled engine being $71,350.00.
