The selected contractor shall arrange transportation and pick up the engine at CFM's (G.E.) facility within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the notification of availability (NOA) from the Government. The first engine will be available early April 2020. Storage is not authorized and therefore the selected vendor will be required to pick up the engine within 7 calendar days of notification that it is available and transport it to the location specified in this RFQ as efficiently as possible.

The shipping contractor is not responsible for the unloading of the material and Boeing will assume custody of the engine from the beginning of the off load procedure. Boeing will offload the CFM56-7 engine upon arrival as they have several forklifts available for this specific purpose. Each engine has an estimated replacement cost of $14 million. The US Government will not insure this effort.
