INTRODUCTION:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a requirement for the storage of Engine Generator System (EGS) and associated equipment in support of the Engine Generator (EG) Program. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the FAA’s requirements for Pre-Deployment warehouse support for the EG program.

COMPETITION/SMALL BUSINESS:

This Market Survey is conducted, in part, in an effort to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside the competition among certain types of small businesses. With that said, this Market Survey is intended to seek information from interested vendors of all sizes and types. The acquisition strategy and the nature of this procurement has yet to be determined. The FAA may decide to do a full and open competition, a full or partial set-aside with a business type identified above, or a direct award.

The Principal North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) size standard code for this requirement 493110 General Warehousing and Storage, with a size standard of $30M. Suggestion

of an alternate NAICS code does not require that the work be set-aside or solicited under that alternative code.

BACKGROUND:

The FAA is currently acquiring Commercial Off-the-Shelf/Non-Developmental Items (COTS/NDI) Engine Generators. This COTS/NDI approach provides the FAA with the most efficient approach to acquire engine generators. The purpose of the EG is to supply secondary electric power for the duration of any failure of the normal (Commercial) power supply. In support of this effort, the FAA requires storage of the engine generators and associated equipment in a Pre-Deployment Warehouse.

A Draft Statement of Work is attached to this Market Survey outlining requirements with significantly more detail for interested vendors. Vendors are highly encouraged to read the Draft SOW in full for the best understanding of the FAA’s requirement. The requirement is anticipated to be a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Fixed Price CLIN type contract, but the anticipated period of performance and contract type are subject to change at the FAA’s discretion in accordance with the FAA’s best interests.

CAPABILITY STATEMENT:

In order to make the best determination, the FAA requires the following from interested vendors:

1. The type of Service the Company provides, customers served, and years of experience that demonstrate the ability to perform the requirements described and outlined in the Draft SOW.

2. Must have been in business for ten (10) or more years providing warehouse storage for engine generators and associated equipment. Please give a detailed description of previous contracts, including size and type of previous contracts that demonstrates that this previous experience is similar in scope to the requirements as outlined in the Draft SOW.

3. The respondent’s warehouse must be located in Milwaukee, WI. It also must contain at least 42,000 square feet and be able to expand up to 100,000 square feet (if necessary). The respondent must also list the price per square foot of their warehouse space.

4. The respondent must possess the ability to coordinate shipping of engine generators and associated equipment from their warehouse to customers’ sites located in the Continental United States (CONUS) and to sites located outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The shipment must include freight, delivery, and off-loading. The freight/delivery truck should be appropriate for delivery to any location and over any type of terrain. Off-loading must be accomplished via fork lift or crane, depending on the size of the equipment and site requirements. Please give a detailed description of previous contracts, including size and type of previous contracts, which demonstrates that this previous experience is similar in scope to the requirements as outlined in the Draft SOW.

5. The respondent must provide evidence of having ten (10) or more years of experience maintenancing Kohler engine generators. Please give a detailed description of previous contracts, including size and type of previous contracts, which demonstrates that this previous experience is similar in scope to the requirements as outlined in the Draft SOW.

6. The respondent must also show some type of Kohler accreditation or Kohler certification for being able to work on Kohler engine generators.

7. If your company will require the services of additional subcontractors or teaming partners to perform the requirements of this contract, please identify any subcontracts, teaming agreements, or partnerships and the estimated percentage of work each third party would perform against the total effort of the contract. Identify each subcontractor and/or teaming partner by its business type and size (i.e., small business and type thereof or large business).
