REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

TURNKEY INDUSTRIAL PLANT SYSTEMS & SUPPORT

The Ogden Air Logistics Complex (OO-ALC) at Hill AFB, UT seeks information and feedback from our industry partners for a potential upcoming requirement. Please answer the questions listed at the bottom of this document with as much detail as possible. Additional feedback, insights and recommendations are welcomed.

Please send responses to both of the email addresses listed below:

Overview:

This anticipated requirement will (1) facilitate support for multiple groups within OO-ALC that have an ongoing need for integrated solutions of turnkey Depot Industrial Plant Equipment (DIPE) systems and subsystems and (2) provide engineering services that enable the day-to-day repair, modification and maintenance missions of various OO-ALC groups. The expectation is that the successful awardee must be able to support the DIPE solutions and day-to-day engineering services for multiple groups.

The Government is currently contemplating a competition that initial market assessments indicate will result in a small business set-aside. The applicable NAICS Code is expected to be 541330 – Engineering Services.

Integrated Turnkey Solution for DIPE:

Examples of DIPE include items such as test stands, fall protection work stands, paint booths, thermal sprays, gap grinders, etc. These pieces of equipment, along with ancillary components, are used to facilitate aircraft maintenance operations in an industrial setting and, therefore, must provide certain quality attributes that will ensure the overall pieces of equipment will have a robust longevity associated with them. These pieces of equipment are routinely used in heavy maintenance operations and must withstand extreme use in challenging environments. It is imperative that DIPE solutions maximize the equipment’s lifecycle while simultaneously minimizing instances and costs of repair.

A turnkey solution must take into account that DIPE typically requires extensive customization and engineering and is generally not readily available in the commercial marketplace as well. Successful integrated support will require an in-depth understanding of Depot-level process and infrastructure necessary to execute production missions.

Engineering Services:

In conjunction with DIPE: It is anticipated that engineering services associated with turnkey DIPE solutions may necessitate the following in order to provide successful support: removal and disposition of existing equipment; facility preparation for new designs, including facility modifications; coordinating with equipment manufacturers; engineering assistance with design and analysis efforts; cybersecurity; DoD Authority to Operate (ATO) information technology support; coordinating between multiple vendors to integrate and deliver complete systems; facilitating equipment delivery; offloading, rigging and installation; coordinating training for equipment use and maintenance; performing studies and analyses; and coordinating between agencies (e.g. Robins AFB, Defense Logistics Agency, Supply Chain Group, etc.).
