The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service (FDACS FFS) is seeking competitive bids for a vendor to perform overhaul of Lycoming engine models IO-540-AB1A5 and O-360-A4M to factory new condition. The selected vendor must be an approved/certified Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Repair Station with a minimum Power Plant Class 1 certification to overhaul the Lycoming aircraft engines. The work must be completed within 90 days of the Contractual Services Agreement being executed, and FDACS FFS anticipates awarding a contract effective upon execution through June 30, 2027, with three one-year renewal options. The procurement is being conducted through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) process, with bids due by September 13, 2024 and a public bid opening on September 16, 2024. Award of the contract will be based on the responsive and responsible vendor with the lowest Grand Total Price.

The ITB outlines various preferences for certified minority business enterprises, Florida veteran business enterprises, and vendors with a drug-free workplace program. There are no incumbent vendors or current contractors identified, and the ITB does not specify a budget range for the contract award. However, the procurement is limited to the geographic jurisdiction of Leon County, Florida.
