Mountain Home AFB, ID is seeking information for market research purposes for the acquisition of Aircraft Maintenance Services. The resulting contract will require the contractor to provide personnel, supervision and services necessary to maintain Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) F-15SG and United States Air Force (USAF) F-15C/D and F-15E aircraft based with the 366th Maintenance Group (366 MXG), located at Mountain Home AFB (MHAFB) except for those government furnished property and services. The contractor shall provide personnel, supervision and services necessary to maintain Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) F-15SG and United States Air Force (USAF) F-15C/D and F-15E aircraft based with the 366th Maintenance Group (366 MXG), located at Mountain Home AFB (MHAFB) except for those government furnished property and services. The contractor shall provide coordination, maintenance, servicing, ground handling, inspection, and repair of all assigned MHAFB aircraft, aircraft components, engines and associated mission support equipment. Additionally, the contractor shall provide flying and maintenance scheduling, database management and analysis, centralized control (a maintenance operations center), maintenance training functions and specialized support functions in accordance with the PWS. The 366th Maintenance Group is responsible for maintenance of all 70+ assigned F-15C/D, F-15E and two trainer aircraft, associated aircraft systems, support equipment and munitions. The RSAF build-up will add an additional 10 F-15SG aircraft with a possible surge to 20 aircraft for short periods of time to the MXG total. The F-15SG is a similar version to the USAF F-15Es; two major differences include a different avionics package and GE 110-129C Engines. The Group develops flying and maintenance schedules to execute an annual flying hour program for more than 12,300 sorties and 16,900 flying hours. It also executes deliberate and contingency war plans, ensures weapons standardization and quality assurance, and conducts training for maintenance personnel. The purpose of this requirement is to integrate contractor maintenance specialists with USAF/RSAF maintenance specialists. In doing so, the contractor will provide support functions for the entire 366 Fighter Wing (FW) and will not isolate itself only to supporting RSAF operations, with the exception of the JEIM Support Equipment Specialist, AMU, OPS and OSS positions.
