Opportunity description
The United States Army Contracting Command � Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA), on behalf of the United States Aviation and Missile Lifecycle Management Command (AMCOM) Logistics Center (ALC) submits the following Pre-Solicitation Notice for Contractor Field Service Representative (CFSR) Support for the United States Government (USG). The proposed contract action will be a new five (5) year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a combination of Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), and Cost No Fee (CNF) for the Apache Airframe CFSR effort. This effort will be awarded to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Boeing Aerospace Operations, Inc. (Boeing), 6200 James S McDonnell Blvd., Saint Louis, MO 63134-1939, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code 0LRY9 for CFSR support for the AH-64 Apache Airframe portfolio. The AH-64 Apache is comprised of a network-centric, fully integrated weapon system specifically built to dominate in highly contested and complex battle space. The CFSR will be located at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama supporting various U.S. Army units located both within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The specific support requirements include OEM level experts performing training, inspection, technical assistance, troubleshooting guidance, and OEM engineering reach-back support for damaged aircraft/components and/or inspection and repair criteria to return the aircraft/components to a serviceable condition. The United States Government (USG) does not currently possess a fully validated, complete, and unrestricted Technical Data Package (TDP) for the Apache Airframe portfolio suitable for full and open competition. While the USG may maintain contractually defined data rights (including Government Purpose Rights or Unlimited Rights) in certain subsystems or components developed under prior efforts, the proprietary engineering models, OEM-level structural repair criteria, and platform-level engineering reach-back databases required for this comprehensive CFSR support effort remain proprietary to the OEM. Consequently, Boeing Aerospace Operations, Inc., as the original designer, developer, and manufacturer of the AH-64 platform, is the only known source possessing the unique proprietary technical data and engineering infrastructure necessary to perform these platform-level services. Attempting to develop, validate, and field an equivalent technical package through a third party would result in a substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition, as well as unacceptable delays in supporting critical Army operational readiness. The CFSR support contract will also include surge provisions to position the USG to nimbly respond to any emerging world-wide contingencies. These provisions will enable the Government to increase CFSR support as required if unknown requirements materialize. Pricing for the surge provisions will be negotiated based on pre-negotiated labor rates. These surge requirements will be met by awarding task orders based on the number of months of CFSR support required. The increased surge support is included in the estimated total contract value. The United States Government projects contract award in February 2027. The Period of Performance is anticipated to be 60 months (Five One-Year Ordering Periods)from date of contract award, unless extended per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.217-8, �Option to Extend Services.� This is a presolicitation notification, NOT a solicitation.
