Jet A Fuel Storage Tank Systems 12639526Q0151

For more than 60 years, Moore Air Base has served as a hub for sterile insect dispersal operations, supporting an average of ten daily flights with two to three small aircraft that currently utilize low lead grade aviation fuel. With the establishment of new production facilities and the planned modernization of the MexFly fleet, updated fuel infrastructure is now required. To meet these operational demands, two Jet A fuel storage tanks must be installed to support contracted aircraft for New World Screwworm (NWS) sterile fly dispersal, as well as future aircraft to be procured for continued MexFly missions. The Secretary of Agriculture has designated Moore Air Base as a critical production site for NWS to help prevent the spread of infestation to livestock and potential human hosts. To support this expanded mission, upgraded fuel storage capability is essential for upcoming flight operations. The base s existing AvGas LL100 supply is incompatible with the Beechcraft King Air Model 90, the aircraft selected for NWS dispersal. Jet A fuel will also be required for the future Cessna 208 aircraft planned to replace the current Cessna 306 fleet used in MexFly dispersal operations. Solicitation documents are posted below. PLEASE NOTE: Interested parties are urged to read at least the first four pages of the RFQ. This will save you and the government time because many of the questions we receive are answered there. Thank you. Amendment 1 is posted below. It changes the date of the site visit to June 1 at 9 a.m. Those intending to attend the site visit must provide names in advance.

The solicitation states that the estimated magnitude of this project is between $250,000 and $500,000. As an interested party, when you develop your quote and find that your number exceeds $500,000, do not hesitate to submit your quote at whatever number you develop. The New World Screwworm program is among USDA's highest priorities, so if competitive quotes come in that well exceed the given magnitude, it's still likely that this project would be fully funded.
