Fair Opportunity Proposal Request - F108 Module 13/15 & 14 LPT Assembly (USAF/USN) Remanufacture

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to industry questions regarding the LPT Stage 1 Blades, clarifying aspects of the solicitation and Statement of Work (SOW).

• NSN Correction: The National Stock Number (NSN) for LPT Stage 1 Blades listed on the solicitation FA8122-26-R-0007 is incorrect. The correct NSN is 2840-01-466-7430. The solicitation and FOPR will be amended to reflect this correction, but response times will not be extended.
• Blade Availability & Pricing: Tinker AFB does not have information on when LPT Stage 1 Blades will be available on Fedmall or their future unit price.
• Acquisition of Parts: Contractors shall acquire all component parts from Air Force approved vendors, Government inventory, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved vendors, or commercial inventories approved by the USAF and/or OEM.
• Replacement of Blades: Stage 1 blades that cannot be returned to serviceable condition must be replaced with new OEM blades, which can be purchased from Fedmall.
• Pricing Strategy: Offerors are not required to obtain Stage 1 blades from Fedmall. If blades are unavailable from Fedmall at the time of FOPR release, offerors should provide a firm fixed price based on OEM pricing. Pricing will be requested at the order level, allowing offerors to check Fedmall and OEM stock and adjust pricing accordingly.

While the solicitation will be amended to correct the NSN, the response time for the solicitation or FOPR will not be extended. Offerors need to be aware of the guidance on acquiring and pricing Stage 1 blades, especially if Fedmall availability is uncertain.
