The NAVAIR Program Executive Officer for Tactical Aircraft (PEO(T)), F/A-18 Program Office (PMA265) has a requirement to provide Contractor Maintenance Services (CMS) and Contractor Support Services (CSS) for the country of Kuwait. PMA265 is responsible for development, production and in-service management of the Kuwait F/A-18A-D aircraft. The CMS and CSS support the Kuwait F/A-18 Organizational Level (O-Level), Intermediate Level (I-Level) and the Missile Maintenance Repair Facility (MMRF) organizations. Services to be provided include missile/weapons maintenance; quality assurance of aircraft maintenance; On-the-Job Training (OJT); maintenance/material documentation services; and weapons assembly, handling and supply management. The period of performance for this effort is a base year with four one-year options. The place of performance of this effort will be the Kuwait Air Force (KAF) facilities in Kuwait. The contract type is anticipated to be an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity, Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee. Award is expected by July 15, 2011, and it is anticipated that the Request for Proposal (RFP) will be released 30 November 2010. This maintenance support effort will be solicited on an Unrestricted Full and Open Competition basis. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this effort is 488190 with a small business size standard of $7M.
