Maintenance for fixed wing and helicopter aircraft

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking competitive pricing for maintenance services for its fixed-wing and helicopter aircraft. The contract is for a three-year term, with the option to renew for up to three additional one-year terms. The scope of services includes maintenance, repair, and overhaul of FWC's aircraft fleet located in Columbia, Leon, Marion, and Santa Rosa counties. Vendors must have the necessary qualifications and certifications to perform maintenance on both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. The proposals are due by April 13, 2022 at 1:00 PM ET, with a public opening taking place the same day. FWC intends to make an award on May 9, 2022.

The solicitation is open to all vendors, including minority, women, and veteran-owned business enterprises. FWC encourages diversity in subcontracting opportunities, and vendors are permitted to utilize subcontractors, provided a list is submitted with the proposal. While the current incumbent vendor has performed helicopter maintenance for many years, this solicitation is only for gaps in coverage, and vendors are not required to respond if they are not interested. Pricing for parts, components, and accessories must be consistent with industry standards, and FWC will consider proposals that demonstrate value and cost-effectiveness.
