(v - vii) The 115th Fighter Wing, Wisconsin Air National Guard, has a requirement to disassemble VLMs (Vertical Lift Machines) and palletize/crate them in a manner that they can be efficiently stored on-site. After an anticipated construction project is completed, the contractor will install/reassemble the VLMs to full working order. There are five VLMs, model Remstar Shuttle-XP-500-2450X864-US. See the Statement of Work for all requirements. A firm fixed price contract award is anticipated. A site visit is offered; see section (xv) Instructions to Offerors for details and registration.

Item 3 (Option 1): After construction completion, reassemble and install the VLMs in the new location to full working order, 1 EACH.
