- Description
- Solicitation 8108-19 seeks On Call (OC) flight services consisting of small (not more than 7,000 pounds approved gross weight), turbine engine, three-passenger seat helicopters to support Department of the Interior, (DOI) bureaus and offices in their transport needs within Hawaii and the Commonwealth Areas of the Pacific. Contractor services include provisions of small helicopters, pilot(s), fuel, aircraft maintenance support, and all other associated equipment, as prescribed in the Government's solicitation. Mission activities are for fire management programs, Aerial Capture, Eradication and Tagging of Animals (ACETA), Short-haul and other related resource support and administrative activities. Contractor(s) must possess a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 135, 133 and 137. Aircraft offered must also be carried on the Contractor's list required by 14 CFR Part 135.63 or Operations Specifications Part D, "Aircraft Listing," as appropriate. The contract period will be from the date of award through September 30, 2009 for the first year, with two option periods that may be exercised at the unilateral discretion of the Government. Multiple awards are expected to be made. SPECIAL NOTICE. THE DOI IS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING CHANGES ON HOW THEY ACQUIRE SOME AIRCRAFT SERVICES. A DOI CALL-WHEN-NEEDED (CWN) PROGRAM IS BEING DEVELOPED THAT ENCOMPASSES SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF ON CALL (OC) CONTRACTS TO SUPPORT DOI AVIATION PROGRAM NEEDS AND MISSIONS. THIS SOLICITATION IS ONE OF THOSE ON CALL CONTRACTS. WILDLAND FIRE SUPPORT, ACETA, AND SHORT-HAUL APPROVED SMALL HELICOPTERS WILL NO LONGER BE APPROVED OR UTILIZED UNDER A DOI, AIRCRAFT RENTAL AGREEMENT (ARA) AND MUST BE UNDER AN EXCLUSIVE USE OR ON CALL (OC) CONTRACT IF THE OPERATOR WISHES TO DO BUSINESS WITH DOI FOR THESE ACTIVITIES. This is the only planned OC small helicopter solicitation that is planned for issuance for the next three years requirements. If you operate these types of aircraft and are interested in continuing your support to the DOI under DOI procurement systems, you will need to submit a proposal as provided herein and be awarded a contract from the solicitation. If an individual aviation vendor holds a DOI ARA and the same services can be provided via the on-call helicopter contract, the ARA may be cancelled. We plan on eliminating duplicate procurements when possible. It is a requirement that any successful awardee must be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) prior to award being made. It is the offeror's responsibility to ensure registration is accurate and valid. Solicitation information will be available through the FedBizOpps site by searching for 8108-19 and at http://amd.nbc.gov. This solicitation is set aside for small business concerns. The anticipated issue date of the solicitation is August 1, 2008 with a closing date of August 18, 2008. AFTER READING THE SOLICITATION, questions may be directed to Caroline Wallace, 907-271-4788, or email-Caroline_Wallace@nbc.gov
