- Description
- This is a Request for Information (RFI). The information received will be used in assessing the availability of carriers to perform Charter International Airlift Cargo service for the Department of Defense (DOD) and to develop the method to procure the requirement. In order to receive an award, the offeror must be a member of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF). At the present time, the Government contemplates 7 routes only in the Pacific Region, but during the course of the contract period, may request service in the Atlantic Region or other regions of the world. The Government is requesting support to include a minimum of 6 but not more than 10 each 463L pallet positions (108 inches L x 88 inches W x 96 inches H). The pallets must support a minimum of 3,000 pounds. Although the Government prefers non-contoured pallets, the Government will consider aircraft requiring contoured pallets. Additionally, the Government finds the ability to accept pallet trains more desirable than individual pallet load capability. The Government is considering soliciting for this service on a 'Best Value' basis, trading off service capabilities against price. Awards are planned to made on an ?all or none? basis to one offeror vice multiple awards made to several offers such as awarding by routes. Please provide your commercial method of pricing charters to include how delays, diversions, cancellations, and ferry miles are handled. We also request comments on limitations of providing service to other regions, including pricing of such service, should the need arise. In addition, please identify what recourse a customer has when delivery is delayed or carrier fails to perform. Please provide any additional comments you think may assist this office in developing this requirement. Pending outcome of the RFI results, performance is estimated to begin on or after 1 Oct 02. This RFI should not be construed as a commitment or authorization to incur costs in anticipation of such a procurement. This agency is interested in obtaining responses to this RFI from prospective contractors but no contractor shall be reimbursed for providing this information; therefore, the Air Force will accept the requested information in whatever format is provided. All information provided by the contractor will become the property of the Air Force and will not be returned. Responses on the proposed strategy and questions are required no later than close of business on 01 Feb 02.
