REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Maritime, Patrol, and Reconnaissance Aircraft (PMA-290) Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Patuxent River, MD 20670 Description The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) in support of the Maritime, Patrol, and Reconnaissance Aircraft Program Office- PMA-290 is seeking information on how an interested contractor could fulfill the requirement for the transportation of two (2) CFM International CFM56-7B27AE engines for the United Kingdom's (UK) P-8 aircraft. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The Navy is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondees are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement. Background PMA-290 is soliciting information on industry's capacity to fulfill a requirement to provide transportation/shipping of two (2) CFM 56-7B27AE engines including FAA Form 8130-3 (Airworthiness Approval Tag) and Engine Records and Logbooks, shipment trailer, engine stand, and engine cover, from CFM's (GE) facility located in Peebles, OH, to Everett, WA, in accordance with the Road Transportation Specifications attached to this RFI. Each shipment is subject to the terms and conditions listed in 41 CFR 102-117 and 41 CFR 102-118. The Contractor shall transport one engine on or about April 2020, and one engine on or about April 2021. The contractor shall arrange transportation and pick up the engine at CFM's (GE) facility within seven (7) days of the notification of availability. The Contractor shall obtain and maintain for a period of at least 90 after the completion of each shipment insurance against the total loss of each engine. Each engine has an estimated replacement cost of $14 million. The US Government will not insure this effort. Should the government solicit proposals, an acceptable proposal will include at a minimum, evidence of the contractor's ability to obtain and maintain the required insurance. Requested Information The Program Office is interested in answers to the following questions: 1. Can industry meet the transportation requirements of this effort? 2. Does industry currently have insurance coverage sufficient to meet the liability requirements of this effort? 3. If industry does not have sufficient coverage, can it be obtained to meet this need?
