Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of the Interior’s IBC Acquisition Services Directorate is seeking industry input for a forthcoming Air Tactical Group Supervision procurement and potential revisions to the solicitation. The draft requirement covers contractor-operated and maintained Air Attack flight services for the U.S. Wildland Fire Service in the contiguous United States and Alaska, including aircraft, avionics, communications, navigation, safety systems, maintenance, and qualified pilot and mechanic support. A key issue under review is whether to shorten the prospective price redetermination structure from an initial five-year period plus a five-year follow-on period to a three-year initial period with three additional periods of three, two, and two years, with the goal of improving pricing accuracy and competitiveness. Participation in the RFI is voluntary, responses are nonbinding and will be used only to inform possible solicitation changes, and the listed contact is Angelina Clements.
