06 July 2020 The purpose of this announcement is to incorporate solicitation amendment FA8509-20-R-0017-0001 to update and remove clauses in Section I, and to incorporate the revised Performance-Based Work Statement (PWS) dated 02 July 2020 in Section J. The previous PWS version is hereby deleted and replaced with this new version. The proposal due date is hereby extended from Wednesday, 15 July 2020 to Wednesday, 22 July 2020 at 4:30 PM EST. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 June 2020 The Robins AFB Special Operations Forces/Personnel & Recovery Contracting Section has a sole source requirement to provide MC-130J aircraft sustaining engineering services and technical support for systems on Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) aircraft throughout their life cycles. This effort will require the contractor to define, assess, and resolve various engineering and technical support issues for the MC-130J aircraft (hereafter referred to as - the aircraft or - MC-130J) systems and subsystems. The contractor shall provide an enhanced engineering design and analysis capability, support aircraft modifications, address operational capability improvements, analyze/recommend aircraft availability improvements, suggest reliability and maintainability actions, perform replacement system analysis, assist with resolving deficiency reports, and assist with aircraft troubleshooting/repair. The contractor shall provide engineering support for all MC-130J modifications to include, but not limited to, Increment 3, Defense System Upgrade (DSU), Electronic Warfare Bus, Cotton Mouth, Buffer Boards, and Auxiliary Flight Deck Station (AFDS) and develop implementation / installation integration plan and provide reach back support during kit installations as technical support. The contractor shall also be required to perform logistical studies, develop Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTO), submit technical order (TO) change packages, determine parts obsolescence solutions, develop prototypes, address drawing deficiencies, and perform other sustaining engineering activities required for weapon system sustainment. This acquisition will benefit the government by assisting Multi-Function Teams (MFT) with logistics and addressing technical and engineering matters relating to the overall sustainment of the aircraft platforms. When properly addressed/corrected, expediting resolution of these sustaining engineering issues will provide increased operational capability for the aircraft in the areas of operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness. The contract Period of Performance (PoP) is planned for a basic period of 12 months with four 12-month options. This requirement will be a Sole Source award to: PCI Aviation, LLC 3480 Highway 21 Atmore, AL 36502 CAGE: 7NV00 IAW FAR 19.808-1(e), The Government intends to award directly to PCI Aviation, LLC.
