“The contractor shall provide a highly qualified workforce
to support Organizational, Intermediate and Depot-Level Tasks in support of
Presidential Helicopter platforms,” the Navy said in contract documents. “Specific
tasking shall include flight operations support; aircraft maintenance; aircraft
and component overhaul and repair; technical assistance; modification kit
development and installation; aircraft acceptance/transfer inspections; tool
room management; technical directive incorporation; bulletin compliance and
demilitarization activities. The contract requires Mission Essential services
and emergency response operations, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as
required.
“Contractor personnel shall have the ability to obtain a secret or top secret security clearance depending on the position. A specific number of positions will require approved Yankee White access on the first day of the period of performance, which requires a current Tier 5 background investigation.” To be eligible for Yankee White clearance, a person must be an American citizen whose loyalty to the United States is considered to be beyond question and who has proved himself or herself to be mature and trustworthy in past performances.
An estimated 98% of the work will be performed at Naval
Air Station Patuxent River, Md., and 2% will be performed at the contractor site. Some
tasks may require off-site work locations as necessary.
The Sources Sought document released Monday is being used to
identify potential and eligible firms, of all sizes, prior to determining the
method of acquisition and issuance of a solicitation.
The Navy anticipates awarding the contract in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2025. The contract period is five years.
Companies interested in supporting the contract are invited
to respond to NAVAIR no later than Aug. 28.
