About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Forestry is seeking an exclusive use fixed wing aircraft detection service for the Central Oregon District's John Day Unit, with services primarily supporting wildfire response efforts in Grant County and Johnson City. The procurement requires a contractor to provide a 4-place high-wing airplane (single or twin engine, minimum 230 horsepower) with FAA Part 135 certified pilots who hold current Office of Aviation Services (OAS) or United States Forest Service (USFS) pilot qualification cards. Key deliverables include aerial detection reconnaissance, air tactical supervision, and wildfire suppression coordination, with the aircraft based at Grant County Regional Airport and required to be dispatch-ready within 15 minutes during a daily 9-hour period. The initial contract term is one year, with four potential one-year renewal options, totaling a maximum five-year contract period. Bids will be evaluated on a lowest cost, responsive, and responsible basis, with the solicitation requiring detailed submissions including pilot certifications, aircraft specifications, references, and a responsibility inquiry. The bid is due on May 24, 2023, with services anticipated to commence around July 1st, contingent on weather conditions.
The procurement includes a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan, indicating a preference for minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses as potential subcontractors. Bidders must provide a list of certified and non-certified firms they have contractually worked with in the past two years and describe potential subcontracting opportunities with estimated dollar values. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract includes defined hourly rates for daily availability, extended standby, and flight time, with provisions for reimbursing Remain Overnight (RON) expenses. The solicitation applies preferences for in-state bidders and requires successful bidders to submit a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan prior to contract execution. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation. Bidders must meet stringent qualification requirements, including providing current aircraft and pilot qualification cards, detailed pilot experience summaries, and comprehensive aircraft specifications to be considered for the contract.
