16 -- PBTH for USMC KC130J

The Naval Air System Command maintains an ongoing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with Rolls Royce/Allison Engine Company to provide Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) and Technical Engineering Support Services (TESS) for the USMC KC-130J aircraft, specifically for the AE2100D3 turboprop engine and R391 propeller. This contract currently supports the maintenance of an initial fleet of thirteen KC-130J aircraft at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, with provisions to potentially support up to thirty aircraft across two additional locations: MCAS Miramar in California and MCAS Okinawa/Iwakuni in Japan. The Navy plans to modify this contract to include the procurement of spare parts for engines and propellers and to increase the number of engine hours serviced, reflecting an increased operational tempo. The proposed modification will impact the remaining option periods under contract N00019-03-D-0002, ensuring continued and expanded logistical and engineering support. Interested parties, aside from the current contractor, had a deadline of April 30, 2004, to respond to this synopsis, with responses directed via fax or email to the designated Navy contacts. This contract aligns under the NAICS code 336412 and is managed by the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division located in Patuxent River, Maryland, as part of the Department of Defense's broader effort to sustain and enhance KC-130J operational readiness.
