A previous notice was posted on 12/14/2018. Request for Information (RFI) / Sources Sought Notice Subject to FAR clause 52.215-3 entitled “Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes,� this announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Notice for information and planning purposes for qualified and experienced sources to provide inspections of static aircraft on loan from the U.S. Navy to ensure the aircraft is Safe for Display throughout multiple geographical areas. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this announcement. It is not to be construed in any way as a commitment by the Government for any purpose other than to gain the information requested, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response. The Government has determined that these supplies and services are commercial items as defined in FAR 2.101. Interested parties are encouraged to respond to this RFI / Sources Sought Notice. Background The National Naval Aviation Museum (NNAM), part of the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), has custody of approximately 1,149 aircraft; of which, approximately 948 are currently loaned throughout the country. Inspections were performed on approximately 9% of the loaned static display aircraft; and, of those inspected, 49% were found to have HAZMAT/HAZWASTE (i.e. varying amounts of fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids, radioactive materials, CADS, etc…) which required abatement. NHHC does not have the sufficient number of skilled personnel on board, nor the mobile equipment to execute required tasks over multiple geographic locations. Scope The scope of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to inspect, assess, and render them safe for public display. All repairs (except minor repairs which include patches for small holes, missing fasteners, safety wires, etc.) require authorization by NHHC. Any reconditioning, repairing, and refinishing (other than minor repairs described above) requires a separate scope of work. The Government requires a contractor to furnish all tools, support equipment, commercially available computer applications (i.e. Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, photo-editors, etc…), labor and materials, required to inspect and make aircraft Safe for Display. Any potential contract resulting from this RFI / Sources Sought Notice is anticipated to be a single and/or multiple award, commercial, firm-fixed-price (FFP), definite-delivery, definite-quantity type contract. See the draft (PWS) posted with this notice for additional details. Place of Performance (Site Locations) Numerous locations throughout the United States and Hawaii with a focus on inspecting the remainder of the South East.
