- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR AVAILIBILITY OF PRATT AND WHITNEY UC-35D SPARE ENGINES (MODEL: PWC535A) Solicitation Number: N00019-18-RFI-PMA-207-0001 Agency: Department of the Navy Office: Naval Air Systems Command, (NAVAIR), Tactical Airlift (PMA207) Location: NAS Patuxent River, Bldg 419 Market Research and Request for Information (RFI) for the Availability of Pratt and Whitney UC-35D Replacement Engines (Model: PWC535A) FAR Part 10 requires the Government to conduct market research before developing new solicitation requirements for an acquisition. Results of market research are used to determine whether qualified sources exist and to obtain industry comments and information on future procurements. One of the ways the Government conducts market research is to issue a Request for Information. An RFI provides a broad statement of need, briefly describes the Government's intentions regarding program/acquisition approach, and identifies key events in the acquisition program schedule. In addition, the announcement requests industry comments on how the Government can satisfy its needs, alternative approaches, technology availability and risk, the identification of cost drivers, and suggestions on ways to enhance or sustain competition. Description: The Program Office (PMA207) issues this RFI to help determine the capability of companies in meeting the Government's need for the acquisition of a UC-35D Pratt and Whitney Model PWC535A new or overhauled zero-time engine, or an engine with minimal time since overhaul. This RFI is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as an invitation for bid, request for quotation, request for proposal, or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. Your response to this RFI will be treated as information only and part of market research and will not be shared outside of the Government. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of contractor responses to this announcement. This request does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or the authority to enter into negotiations to award a contract. When/if the Government issues an RFP, interested contractors will be expected to thoroughly address the requirements thereof regardless of the circumstances surrounding this RFI. Constraints and Limitations: The respondent must identify their ability to acquire a new or overhauled zero-time or minimal time since last overhaul PWC535A engine; no other engines or qualities will be considered. Requested Information: Respondent is requested to provide information on the following: a) Company's ability to acquire the UC-35D Pratt and Whitney Model PWC535A engine in a new or overhauled zero-time or minimal time since last overhaul state and the cost of said acquisition. b) Company's ability and cost to ship this engine to the Government.

Interested parties are requested to respond with the requested information in this RFI with a white paper in Microsoft Word for Office 2010-compatible format. RFI responses are limited to 10 pages, including cover and administrative pages, and shall be delivered using 10 font or larger.
